My heart goes out to you as I too lost my wife to MND.
Darren brought his “own charm” to work and walking into the electrical store is not the same anymore.
Darren had his own sense of humour and everyone could tell, he loved his work. Take care and our thoughts are with you.

August 6, 2024I worked with Darren at TAFE Gippsland, and he was part of the furniture around here. A lovely and passionate individual, who worked hard and cared for his colleagues. He has been missed on campus for some time now.

August 7, 2024To Helen and Darren’s family, although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Darren I wanted to pass on my sincere condolences after seeing the notice in the TAFE newsletter. Darren’s illness would have been such an emotional challenge for you all. After being part of TAFE for over 38 years I can only imagine the dedication and character Darren must have displayed. I do hope many better memories help you through this most difficult time.
