“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”  ? Thomas Campbell 

Darnell lives through all of us.

Goodbye Bapa Darnell, rest in peace...Till we meet again...

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Thank you Mr. Austria.

To live in our hearts is to live in eternity
Christine, Mason & The Chang Family

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. May your dad's loving memory and the lovely poem below brings comfort in these moment of loss.


PERHAPS GOD IS A POET
Writer Unknown

...Perhaps God is a poet
who writes with words
of flesh and bone and leaf and flower . . .

Every hour of every day,
words pour out of the Poet's heart,
and every word is beautiful and true and worth the telling.
And when each poem is perfect,
and there is no more which ought to be said,
the Poet gently takes the words back into His heart
where they are safe forever . . . and then begins again.

Goodbye Uncle Darnell,you left us with good memories that we will not forget for the rest of our lives.

I am a loss for words... I love you and you'll always be in my heart. Thank you, Dad.

To the Austria Family, 
      Our deepest condolences, praying for all your comfort during this difficult time in your life, a loss of a loving son, brother, husband, father, lolo, and a friend. Rest in Peace, Kong Darnell. 
                                                                    Junior, Gemma Licup and family

With the rest of my family..."Our deepest condolences to your family."
Even though I have not met you I will pay my last respect to you "Uncle Darnell"
see you tomorrow and meet with your family.

"We love you lolo..."

Sean, Sammy and little Sofia...

When I married I got a new dad,
A special father in law;
That made me very happy,
And a little bit in awe.

You're a man who cares,
With an understanding heart.
You're also filled with wisdom;
No wonder my spouse is smart!

Thanks for being so cordial;
Thanks for welcoming me;
It feels really good to be part
Of your special family... May you rest in peace....

Rea S. Austria (married to Darnell G. Austria Jr.)

I always remember the times you would play with me and my brother when I was about five or so.  We would wind up a wooden aeroplane and see it go across the floor with so much delight!  You would always fix our toys which would end up broken again - with a smile and a pat on the head.  I always knew you like that - a mister fix-it dad.  You are my hero who will sorely be missed.  The coolest dad, grand dad and friend one could ever had. Love you lots x

I know you are a cool person, we had the opportunity to talk once on the phone long time ago... Tham always tell stories on how you take care of the family, he never miss a day without sharing moments when you were still here..... We will miss your presence...

Lolo Daddy... we will continue the legacy!!!  We love you...

RIP my uncle Darnell. You did it. you finally made your way. Your journey in earth has been a blessing to us all. Have fun in heaven with all the rest. We surely will do miss you. You've put up w/ all the struggles & hardships in life. You're a very strong man. Will miss you bapa Darnell. love you always. may your spirit rest in peace. ?

Rest In Pease Uncle Darnell. U did ur missions and are very happy now. Enjoy life in heaven. Everyone here misses you. At least you are not suffering anymore. U can sleep now. U can live with God. You now have a place to live in Heaven. God said it was time to go and you went it was because ur mission is completed and ur house is finished being built in Geaven. You served a great purpose in our lives and helped us no matter what. We all helped u and LOVE YOU! May u sleep in peace. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. â™¥ ALL FROM THE AUSTRIA FAMILY. 

RIP UNCLE DARNELL.

Thank you pops for everything that you have done and given me. I will always cherish our moments from fishing every time to working for you just to get the job done. You will forever be missed and especially your special way of expressing your love. May you finally rest in peace and forever be remembered. I love you very much.

THANK YOU DADDY!  I am here because of you!

Our deepest sympathy and Condolences...  We will missed you Pareng Darnell...May you rest in peace....  From Dan , Debh , DJ , Dading, Hannah  and family

Even though we have not seen for a long period of time...but the memories remains with me..i'm going to miss you kong darnell. i'm praying for your everlasting peace..god bless you !

My DAD... I'm proud to be named after him... here are some funny stories about my old man...

I remember when we were playing DUCK HUNT and I knew the cheat for it, he had no idea how I win... He could not figure it out. I always win P2 at that time. I also remember when he was teaching me basic guitar lessons, he taught me a chord, "X minor" (no joke!) I believed that until I learned guitar hehehehe... funny guy!

I remember, I was playing the METALLICA black album with our sony component, it was so loud that I was head banging not knowing he was already staring at me for several minutes.

Oh yeah, I remember, he'd pay me 25 centavos for plucking white hair on his head, when he'd count them, he'll pay us about P15, not knowing (I'm sure he does) that we cut 1 single strand of hair into 4 to make it P1 per white hair strand! hehehehe oh DADDY... I'll miss you... Cheers!

Darnell Jr
