Hi, my name is Taylor Hawkins. I share two of three children with Darius Barker Sr. In November of 2022, Darius was diagnosed with Complete Kidney Failure. He fought this illness until he could no longer. He passed away in the morning February 20, 2024.

He was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend. He leaves behind his three children Alarah, Darius Jr, and Savanna. His children were his entire WORLD. He was an amazing dad and provider. He was a fraternity Brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. He pursued his dream in becoming a Truck Driver. He owned his own trucking company for almost 5 years.

Due to his health conditions of his kidneys, Darius was dropped from his insurance companies. Both Life and Medical. He was no longer able to drive trucks as well. We have started this GoFundMe to raise money for his memorial services and burial. A donation of ANY amount is greatly appreciated.

The Barker/Reed Family thanks you for your prayers, kind words, and donations. Arrangements for Darius will be announced at a later time.

Thank you!
