This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, DARREN CLARK JR, 24 years old, born on December 25, 1993, and passed away on January 7, 2018. We will remember him forever.
So it is said missing….grieving the loss of a love one comes in waves. Sometimes you may even feel like you’re drowning. Prayers today for your strength to stay afloat. To learn or regain your ability to swim again. And ultimately get to the point where you can actually begin to enjoy the water.
Still wearing your converse shoes till the end of the day today. A little tradition I started for myself keeps you close. 1st of December till the 7th of January then they go away safe and sound. One day we’ll meet and look down at the stars. I’ll bring the monsters inc lunchbox’s but not yet. Still some things I have to do. I love you Darren always
“And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way, and I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day” ~MC/BoyzIIMen. This played on the radio yesterday- and I knew it was you! Continue to shine ✨ love you forever! -❤️ Shona

Your 5th consecutive birthday away and oh how it still pierces my heart. Can not seem to nor will ever wrap my head around your departure. I can't say I miss you, as we miss objects, places, things one can still "live" without. I yearn you, simply put I only "exist" without you. So saying I miss you just isn't enough. Gorgeous, my love for you is bigger than life, I love you beyond this existence. Wherever you are, I STILL and forever will LOVE YOU infinity times infinity. ❤️ Happy Birthday my forever child!
Happy birthday Darren! Today is such a special day, not because it’s Christmas, but because it’s the day you made Deirdre a mom. I hope to be half the parent she is, thank you for making her the person she ❤️
Wishing above ALL that this foundation was NEVER started and that your were STILL here. But reality is REAL and here we are. Rest easy young King and I will continue to hold your Momma’s hand through this journey. Your are loved and missed. Keep watching over us.
Your smile lives forever in our hearts and memories. May you continue to watch over your Mom and keep inspiring her to positively impact the lives of the youth.
Darren Happy Birthday in Heaven dear Angel I miss your beautiful smile. You are loved forever. Please keep Mommy strong . You will live forever in our hearts. Charine
I can remember when the nurse bought you to me, and I laid eyes on you for the very first time…I said “hi sweetie” and you turned your head towards me. And the nurse replied”you know that voice huh” The bond we have Gorgeous can NEVER COMPARE TO ANY OTHER. IM COMPLETELY DESTROYED IM COMPLETELY DESTROYED Because I love you beyond this existence, I’m Loving you where ever you are Forever broken Ma
Darren, I never knew you personally, but I have known your mother for years. She always talked about you and how much love the both of you had for one another. As I know she misses you dearly, she has enough strength, courage and love to go on and to do something that is even bigger than all of us. You brought her that strength in your passing. Now she fights to educate the world on mental illness, she FIGHTS the good strong fight with all the energy you give her everyday. And for that, people all over will forever be grateful in your name. Rest In Peace and know that your light will forever shine bright .
Darren, it’s been three years and I’m still at a loss. I wish the happiness you felt inside was as great as the huge smile that you showered us with. Such a kind person, a warm spirit. You will live on in the hearts of the many, many people whose hearts you touched. Love you forever- Big cuzzo, Toya
Darren I miss your gorgeous smile. I blow a kiss at your bench everytime I got through the park. You have touched so many hearts and your Mother will let your memory live forever . She is doing so much for others as she did for you . Please know how much she aches for you . Darren we miss you so much. I love you and know you are an Angel in heaven looking over all of us
Darren we will never forget you. Thank God for the precious hope that one day we will see each other again in heaven. ❤️ Deirdre I know God has a plan for your life. Thank you for using the most tragic experience one could ever face to help other young people. You have no idea how many lives your work will touch and how far-reaching your efforts are. Love you so much - and so respect you as a mom and a Christian sister and a woman.
Dear Darren, I have not met you but feel that I know you through your beautiful mother. You look very much like her and I sense your spirit being there for all your loved ones. I, too, have suffered losses of my beloved baby girl, father and cousins. I can only imagine the joy and unity in the perfect world where love and peace perpetually reside with all our brothers and sisters who have gone to the next life. Through your spirit, bring peace to your family and the rest of us who have connected to you. Sending love to you.
Dearest Darren, time has stopped and become endless since you have passed. I am certain you are in the arms of our creator living your best life in the spirit world. Please give your Mom a sign that you are no longer in pain and your presence did not end when your spirit left your body. You are with her always. Your love is forever. You will always be her Gorgeous. You will continue to live in all our hearts and memories. Love, your cousin
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years, I can’t believe it at all honestly. In your short time here you made such an impact on the world and I know you’re still doing big things! I miss talking to you but I know you still hear us. We love and miss you forever lil big cuzzo ❤️
Darren you always be in my heart and never forgotten. I will always cherish the times I spent with you and your mom when you were little going to the carnival and to the beach. May you continue to Rest In Peace. Know that you are truly missed
Darren, always in my heart, I miss you dearly. It brings me happiness every time you pop up in my dreams. I hope you hear my prayers. I hope you are at peace. Love you forever.
It’s a tragedy you’re not around anymore brother, but I wouldn’t rather anyone else watching over me protecting our group & opening doors from up there. I feel All the creative inspiration in your art when I’m creating and trying to build. Love & miss you brother. Keep paving the way
To my nephew, you'll be forever missed. I will always remember your last words to me was, " I love you Auntie" and my words to you are I love you Darren and I miss you much. Auntie Dede ( Virginia).
I realli miss you bro i can’t believe its been 3 years already . You had an big impact on many lives including those in the family . Every time i think about you i think about the last time i saw you and how happy we both were. I laugh about the memories we had as kids especially. I love you very much. It really sucks that your gone we was supposed to get old together.
I can’t believe it’s been 3 whole years since you transcended onto your next life. I still remember that day as clear as can be and quite honestly I don’t think the memory will ever fade. I miss you so much bro, I really do— theres still times when I go to text you thinking you’ll reply and then im stuck with the harsh reality of the truth, I can never reach out to you again. I can’t come to you with my problems anymore, i cant seek your advice, its all just memories now. I love you big bro and I can’t wait for the day I get to see you again. ❤️
To the one who owned my heart, then completely destroyed it when you left me. I need you Gorgeous, I need you. You didn’t have to leave me, all I needed was one last chance to help you. I begged you to give me another chance to try. Why Darren WHY LEAVE ME FOREVER BROKEN
So it is said missing….grieving the loss of a love one comes in waves. Sometimes you may even feel like you’re drowning. Prayers today for your strength to stay afloat. To learn or regain your ability to swim again. And ultimately get to the point where you can actually begin to enjoy the water.
You made and will continue to make your mother the best version of herself. Anyone that knows Deirdre knows that Darren is her world; you are missed everyday, and it’s because of you that she continues to fight the stigma. Thank you Darren for giving us her
