Darnell loved listening to his music, playing basketball and other sports, and he truly loved spending time with his family. His passion was teaching and playing with his younger cousins who were more like his children, and he got delight out of high fiving them when he asked a question and they gave him a right answer. Darnell loved having them jump up to try and high five him as he stood tall, making them have to stretch a bit to reach his hand. It was his way of giving them a thumbs up and letting them know they did well. This brought a delightful smile to them and him.

Darnel's most treasured pleasure was helping his students at "Wendell Green Elementary School where he worked through the Boys and Girls Club of America in Chicago, Illinois. He was truly dedicated in spirit and soul, mentoring them on his own time and showing love to them by spending time with them even afterschool; playing basketball, football and attending after school sports programs to show his love and support for them.
