I’m Chandalynn Daryl’s niece. He was a good man with a big heart always trying to help others with whatever he could. When Daryl loved you he loved hard I will never forget the many times he opened the doors to his house to me when I was having hard times, always made sure I had ate and that I was okay. He was basically like a second father to me, he will forever be missed and in our hearts. Rest in paradise unc we love you…..

”My husband, the love of my life of 18 years, my true soulmate, passed away yesterday. I can’t even fathom that you are really gone. If you knew him you know how hard he loved and how much he represented what he loved and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for those he loved. He also represented the Bay Area to the fullest.

This is really hitting me hard and I can’t stop crying. My life is forever altered. I keep asking God why?? Why?? I feel like my heart is missing. I never ever thought I’d be going through this at this time in our lives. We have been through soooo much together. You really don’t know what an impact someone has on your life until they’re gone. Hug your loved ones today. You NEVER know when they’ll be gone.”
