Jeanette and family, i was sadened to hear the news and i am thinking of you. keep strong, may your son rest in peace.

   We would like to thank everyone who knew Darren and expressed their sympathies for a young man who was dearly loved by all his family and friends. He will be sadly missed by us, his parents, brother, sister and his lovely partner Sam and beautiful son Ewan. Thank you all for your comments and kind thoughts. We also agree with Sam thet the picture of the car was unnecessary. xx

   I would like to thank everyone who has written comments on Darren, it is so touching to know how loved he was by everyone who met him. He was such a terrific partner and father to our son and he is truely missed. A special thanks to all his friends who have been a great help to me at this tragic time. xxx

   Daz has been a close friend for 18 years ever since our school days at Marple Hall. Growing up together we have shared many experiences and I am left with a lot of great memories which i will treasure forever. I cannot speak enough about what a great guy Daz was, he will always be greatly missed by me and all his friends.

   I remember Darren well at Marple Hall, i was in his year.. what a top bloke.. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. Rest in peace mate..... gone but never forgotten !

   Darren has been a family friend since he was eleven. We have seen him grow up with our kids, David, Joanne and Lindsay from their schooldays at Marple Hall into a great guy who loved his family. We will treasure our memories of Darren, especially his trip to the Scilly Isle's with David and more recently the time we shared with Darren and Sam at David's wedding. Our thoughts and sympathy are with Sam, Ewan and family at this terrible loss.

   I also went to Marple Hall school with Darren and remember him from Warren Wood primary school and was very sad to hear this. My thoughts are with the family xxxxxxxxxxx

   It has been hard enough to deal with the death of my partner Darren, and I am grateful for the tribute printed. But there was no need to show the picture of his car, I was physically sick after seeing that, do you people not realise the torment that that has caused me.

   How horrific.

I went to school with Darren, i am his age and my daughter is his sons age. Devastated and so sorry for the loss.

   I went to Marple Hall and Darren was in my form, he was a really nice guy, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this really sad time.

   Darren was a very close friend. We shared some fantastic moments in life. I was the first person to be introduced to Sam when they met Eight years ago and can remember the glow that she brought to him. Darren truly was one-in-a-million and I am lucky to have some of the unforgettable memories that he shared with me, from mischief at Marple Hall School, his first drink at the Romiley Arms through to him being present at my wedding in Minneapolis, US. I was also lucky enough to spend time with Darren, Sam and his son, Ewan on a recent visit back to the UK... one memory that I will treasure for ever. He was a person that went above-and-beyond for his friends and family, no matter what the situation, high-times or low-times, Darren would always be there. I will never forget Darren and will ALWAYS be there for his partner Sam' and Son Ewan. Thank you for 18 years of memories Daz and for being the best friend you could!!!
