my best friend, soulmate, other half. Thank you for loving me every day! I will forever cherish the memories we made & the years we were able to spend by each other’s side. You left a village for me here, and I am forever grateful for you. I love you forever Angel

Your smile would light up a room. We will hold in our hearts all the good memories we shared. Thanks for loving my daughter and treating  her like a queen. We love you D man!

Darcheena, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Especially praying for comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

I am truly heartbroken. Darius was my best friend and I really can’t imagine living life here without him. Darius was someone I could talk to about literally anything and he was always there in my corner no matter what. I went to him about everything, sometimes I thought he knew me better than I knew myself. He would always call us “yin and yang” and that’s exactly how we where, inseparable around each other.  I really can’t imagine a life without  him. As much as this hurts, I know that god has to have a reason for this and he has a greater plan for D in heaven. I am praying for all of his family and friends during this time, I am so sorry for y’all’s loss. I will keep Darius and all of our memories we made together with me forever. It was more than a blessing to have someone like Darius in my life.

I just wanted to stop by and say sorry for your loss! I was a friend with Darius from college and kept in contact after college. Darius was one of the hardest workers i've ever seen. His work ethic is very inspiring, I strive to work as hard as he did on a daily basis. True definition of living life to the fullest. 

Prayers to the family and friends!

Rest in peace, Darius. You were such a good friend in my life.

Darcheena,
I am so sorry to hear of Darius passing. May God bring comfort to you and your family during this difficult time. 

Love, 
Jackie Futch Manning

My heart is broken. Darius had the biggest heart and was an amazing friend. He became like a big brother to me, his smile was contagious and I wish I could see it again. Miss you forever D Mo, Gods got you now. <3

Darius was one of the first friends I made at UTC! We literally spent everyday our first semester getting into so many shenanigans and I always felt safe anytime D was around. The life of the party EVERYTIME. 

My heart is broken bro. I haven’t seen you in a minute but we always kept tabs! I’d do anything to get one more big ass hug from you. I love you angel! Until we meet again! 🤍

I am so sorry to hear this.  I only spoke with him one time when he was overseeing a project we had.  He was a very nice, polite and courteous young man.   My prayers are with the family.

Darius is the most genuine and intention friend I have ever had. From the first time I met him, Darius had an infectious smile on his face. After college we would only run into each other here and there but no matter how long it had been, he always had a huge hug for me. I will forever miss those hugs and that smile.  Rest now D, you're so love and so missed.  Chattanooga won't be the same without you in it.

Darcheena, my thoughts are with Darius and your entire family as you mourn his loss and, with time, celebrate his memory by carrying on his gift of life that he brought to you, his family, community and friends.

Wishing you strength, fortitude, and the grace of God.

Blessed to have known you and been called your friend. We miss you.

Darius Moore, 
Truly a charismatic young man. My friend, who I spent 2 years training in the Army ROTC program at University of Tennessee. He always carried himself with a warm smile, and polite demeanor. I appreciated his comical expression about the situations we would find ourselves in. Whether it be running 3+ miles every other day of the week, eating breakfast together after PT, or being lost in the woods for 3 days for FTX(field training). He knew my name, and always made sure to say hi and made me feel like a friend! You couldn’t forget about this guy, he truly is remarkable. It’s been years since we saw each other last, but I would notice his voice in a heartbeat. I love you friend! May you rest with our Lord and Savior.

Dear Family of Darius, 
I have worked with Darius throughout his time in Chattanooga in many of his concrete endeavors. He was always shining light when he would walk into my store. A positive warm presence that was so incredibly personable. I know that we will miss seeing him and I know that his value to the people he worked with cannot be understated. This is truly saddening and I wish nothing but the best for you all moving forward. Thank you for sharing such a great person with the world. He will not be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with this family, and with my friend, Darcheena. May you be comforted by the love that surrounds you. Kevin

Darcheena and Family, 

I am sending my deepest condolences.  During the time we worked together, you talked about Darius a lot and always shared how proud you were of him.  I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
