Our relationship with Darren was far too short and he is sorely missed by all of us at AutoMarket. A true master technician, he accepted each and every mechanical issue with his quiet approach and provided all of us the confidence that all was about to be resolved.  Darren seemed to deal with his illness in a similar manner and I can only hope to be as brave when my time comes.                          With much respect,                                                                     Jack Wilton, AutoMarket

Our deepest condolences to Vickie and family.   Darren was always a pleasure to see, and he he was taken far too young.   There are no words, but know you are in our hearts.   So very sorry.

My deepest condolences to you Vickie and your family.  Darren was a kind and gentle man. May he RIP

Sending my most heartfelt condolences to Vickie, family and friends.  
Darren will be missed by many in the dog show community.
