Darren was such a happy and caring person who always had a story or a joke to tell. You will be missed by so many, our little SOC family will not be the same without you x

When we think of Darren, we think of a kind, fun friend, but looking through photos recently reminds us he was so much more to us. Every crazy birthday party for Tom, Darren was there helping in the cold wet weather (the Dad’s being a little more competitive than the kids), Lauren’s more sedate birthday meals, the bring your Dad to school day that John couldn’t make but Darren stepped in for William who was so proud to have a ‘hero’ there for him, the sports day where he picked up an injured John and carried him off the field (much to John’s disgust!) So many happy memories, that trip to Legoland has to be a favourite though. Love to Lynne and Kyle today and always xx

What very sad news. My condolences to all of Darren’s family, he will be missed by so many people. He was genuinely one of life’s great guys, always willing to help out, combined with a friendly smile.

I knew Darren from my days at Walton St and also when he worked at POW. I enjoyed our chats when we met and sorry there will be no more. He was a great bloke who was taken far too soon. Glad to have known him. My condolences to his family

Darren was one of those great men who cannot be forgotten.We would encounter each other often on the grounds of Westminster Palace and spend a few minutes chatting. Darren always came across as a very calm and sensible person. He often offered great advice and always shared a great interest in what was going on in my life,listening carefully. I consider it a great privilege and blessing to be able to call him a friend. Although he is no longer with us, he will not be forgotten

A true gentleman and one I had the honour to work with at SO17. Rest in peace Darcy
This was at our work Christmas party pre-lockdown. Such happy memories x
In loving memory of two fantastic days fishing with Darren near his home last July. Darren on his trusty luncheon meat and me on the bread hauling in the carp. We had plans to fish the Broads for bream in August and the Great Ouse too. Sadly, that was not to be. Darren was a wonderful nephew and a great companion, a gentle giant. Wherever you are Darren, tight lines.
With his team
Darren loved his family and this photo just sums it up.
