Darren will truly be missed at Durkan, he was a lovely, kind hearted man who worked incredibly hard and always made time to have a chat and provide a good story. My deepest condolences go to Darren’s family and friends. An absolute gentleman who was taken far too soon. Rest in eternal Peace. x…

I was so shocked and sad to hear that Darren had passed away and my deepest sympathy goes to Darren’s family.     We are all energy and energy cannot be destroyed only changed, therefore there is no death just a change of worlds. Love is the bridge that connects the two worlds and so your love for Darren means you will always be connected. Healing wishes and love, Nicki  …

Darren, A genuine nice guy with a lovely personality who will be sadly missed. He was proffesional and an asset to Durkan. I will miss our chats and banter about Thailand. The world has lost a top top man, taken far too early. …

We had some laughs. Darren and I first met working at Lovell Partnerships. We hit it off when we started talking about our holidays, Darren loved a holiday! It wasn’t long before he invited me to the pub and from there we had some great laughs. We both left Lovell and virtually lost contact with each other, only staying in touch every now and then on Facebook. Years later I walk into the Durkan offices and there he was, that huge smile on his face followed by a ‘alright mate haha’. It wasn’t long before we were laughing about the good old days and our holiday adventures. I use to joke with him that he was a terrible surveyor and when he was stressed I use to tell him to ‘keep his hair on’ (running joke). In truth, he was a good at his job, dependable, conscientious and always wanted to do the right thing. Darren was a gent, a kind man who if he could would do anything for you, but most of all he was always wanting a laugh and to enjoy life as best he could.  It’s a great lost to Durkan and I will miss…

Darren really was such an amazing guy, so easy to talk to and get along with. It was a great pleasure to know and work with him. We are all going to miss Darren so much, he was a big part of Durkan and it won’t be the same without him. My deepest condolences to all Darren’s family and friends.   Shine bright Darren xx…

I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of working closely with Darren for over 4 years, admiring his humour, humility and empathy to his fellow man. His companship is missed greatly. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Darren was a unique character and a true gentleman….

I did not work directly with Darren, but we had many conversations in the breakout area while making a drink. I remember when he was trying to give up smoking, we shared our experiences of this, and I tried to give him words of encouragement. He did quite well for a while then he fell of the wagon which we joked about, but also said never say never could always try again :). He always had a smile on his face and was a nice person, so sad that he has gone. Deepest condolences to his Family and Friends. Karen x…

From all at Box & Charnock our thoughts go out to the family and close friends of Darren. We have been dealing with Darren for the last 4 years on various schemes and he was always friendly and easy to work with. A tragic lost at early age, RIP Darren…

Our working relationship with Darren over the years had always been over the phone. Recently, I had the pleasure in meeting him in person.  It confimed what a genuinely nice person he was. Darren will be surely missed. Sending our love & thoughts to all Darren’s Family and Friends. …

What a terrible news I have just received! My deepest condolences to Darren’s family. We have not known each other for a long time but this short period was enough to realise how positive person he was. Working with such charcters make our days at work better. Big hug to the sky! Lluis (Orona)…

A lovey smiley face – Darren was always smiling.     He will be missed by all at Durkan and I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. …

All I can say about Darren is what a great person to know. He nearly always had a smile on his face and was so easy to talk to and get on with.   I enjoyed our occassional chats about nonsense when the office was a bit empty or over a drink on social events. It was unusual to find someone else who not only knew that great British cinematic classic Party Party, but also actually liked it.   Top on, top off Darren….

My deepest sympathy goes to Darrens family at what must be the saddest time for them. Darren was such a lovely person, always very helpful to me over the years whenever I needed assistance but what I remember best about Darren was his lovely smiling face whenever we chatted and that would always make me smile. He will be greatly missed by everyone, may he rest in peace Michelle…

Darren had a great sense of humour and whilst I didn’t work with him on a day-to-day basis we often shared a story ‘or two’ whilst out having a ‘fresh air’ break!  To hear of his sudden passing filled me with shock and sadness.  He was a genuine ‘nice guy’ and will be greatly missed….
