    I am deeply saddened by the loss in Darrin and he will be missed by those he worked with. He was an asset to Facilities Management and the relationship(s) he created at here and at Plaster Student Union were a demonstration of his commitment and hard work.

    Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May you be blessed and peace be given in this difficult time.

    I’m the Admin for the Maintenance Department and I didn’t know Darrin very well since I didn’t work with him on a day to day basic but what I did see of him is that he always had this contiguous smile on his face. We will all miss him dearly. I’m praying for him family and friends.

    Book of Wisdom:
    Chapter 4
    But the just man, though he die early, shall be at rest.
    For the age that is honorable comes not with the passing of time, nor can it be measured in terms of years.
    He who pleased God was loved.
    Having become perfect in a short while, he reached the fullness of a long career; for his soul was pleasing to the Lord……
