# 94 Darren Keys    













Yesterday our family lost one of our most beloved members.  Darren was a wonderful Son, a kind and caring Husband, a doting Daddy with the spirit of a racer in his blood. 

Darren touched everyone's lives in ways that were one of a kind.  Always there to lend a hand when needed, whether it was helping to build a stage for his daughter's dancing school, helping people move in his van or taking the time to just be present with you, he is so sorely missed and his presence was so unique that it will be felt by many for eternity.

Darren passed away doing what he loved most in the world...Racing.  His bold determination to always give of his best and win was a type of adrenaline like no other.  He excelled in competition and had just started to make a name for himself on the racing circuit before his career was ended so untimely and before he had had a chance to peak.

Darren was a person filled with so much banter it bubbled over in the form of his cheeky persona.  Always on hand to offer the best come backs and the quickest quips, he was a force to behold.  Darren was the epitome of a gentleman, always there when you needed him with a smile and the willingness to help.

Darren was a wonderful Son to Hilda & Clinton Keys.  Always there to lend a hand when needed and never needed to be asked to lend a hand.  Darren was close to his big brother Richard, whom he shared an unbreakable bond with. 

He was so incredibly loved. Darren was the most beloved son-in-law of Karen & Paul O'Lynn, brother-in-law to Michael & Tara, Craig & Lauren.  Although connected through marriage, Darren was so connected by heart to his family, sharing an unbreakable bond with Craig & Michael. 

Darren's greatest achievement were his children, Charlie aged 13 Molly aged 8 & Harry aged 5.  He absolutely adored them and made them his top priority.  Watching Charlie play football,  going to watch Molly at her Irish Dancing competitions and playing Motorbikes with  his baby boy.  Darren was their idol, their protector and their most cherished Daddy.  

Darren was married to Justine for the past 7 years, together almost 9.  He adored her with all of his heart, she was his Queen.  They shared so many happy memories together, holidays to Jamaica, Canada and Spain. Together they loved to just be present in each others company, content to share a drink and watch a movie together at home, rather than a big night out.  Justine was Darren's soulmate and him hers.  They created a beautiful family together and Darren's legacy will continue to live on in the hearts and through the actions of his Wife and Children.

To loose our family member is hard at any age, but to lose him at 34 years young, is simply devastating.  We are completely heartbroken and his laugh, smile and meaningfulness to us all is irreplaceable.  

If you felt so inclined, we welcome donations in his memory to help support Justine and the children.  It is so gratefully appreciated.
