Darren Barbour passed away on July 8th. He had a big heart and a cheery greeting for everyone. He went out of his way to help people every day, and he would give the shirt off his back to those in need. He is dearly missed by his family and his Tastemakers kitchen family. We don't know why God called him home so soon, but I think the Lord must have needed a heavenly kitchen manager.

Darren's sudden passing left his family without much in the way of savings, and unfortunately, no insurance to cover $10k of funeral expenses. Let's come together and show our love for Darren with a gift to help send him home and ease the financial burden on his family. 100% of the funds raised will be given to his wife Renee to help with funeral costs.

Thank you for any contribution you can make. After working together for the last four years, it's hard to believe he's gone.

Update - thank you to everyone who donated or expressed their support. It was wonderful to see how many people Darren blessed during his time here.
