At the age of 10, he received his first organ and then he received piano lessons provided by Sister Ann Riley. After piano lessons God blessed Darell with a gift to create his own music.

Darell was loved by everyone he knew. Every Thanksgiving his family celebrate Thanksgiving in his honor because we know that he would want us too.

He left lots of memories in the music he created with his family and friends. He's gone but never forgotten. Sleep in peace ,son.
