It was my pleasure and an honor to have called Darrick a friend. Even though we both moved away and hadn’t spoken in a long time I often thought of “DJ” and times we shared talking about cars or hanging out and having a beer together. My sincerest condolences to his family and other friends.

I just found out of Darrick passing last night. He’s been on my mind all week and I found his newest fb page and sent him a friend request. I’m sorry sorry to his family and friends. I met him in 1996 and we became instant friends. Going to The Landing and playing foosball for hours. I drove him out to the country to look at this car with me way out in a pasture. He was covered in seed ticks and chiggers it was so bad he vowed to me he wasn’t going to ever do it again.
\nI love and miss you my friend,
