Mr. Darren Harvey Griffith Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Tall, dark and handsome, calm, compassionate, caring, easygoing, even tempered, energetic, fun loving, friendly, outgoing, polite, respectful, young…. A young life tragically extinguished before its prime. Today is the saddest day of our lives since we lost his brother Junior eight years ago. Who knew Darren Harvey Griffith would be snatched away from us. We are so full of grief and sorrow, but we also know how lucky we are to have been Darren’s Mom, Dad, Brother, Cousin, Grand Father, Grand Mother, Aunt, Uncle, friend, class mate, peer! What a joy he was to everyone he knew. The room lit up when he walked in because we knew he was headed to the kitchen! Yes he was an aspiring Chef! He loved Caribbean cuisine; we’d have to open the windows to let the spice out, particularly when curry was on the menu! He loved life and wanted to have fun! He was irreverent and funny; always wise cracking and pointing out secrets that embarrassed you especially on the basketball court. But no one took it seriously, everyone knew he wanted to have a good time. He was compassionate and caring, as he proved by rescuing strays and nourishing them back to life. As other millennials, he embraced water conservation but justified his frequent showers. We will miss him so much, as all of you will. Thankfully, he has left us some great memories! A short life well lived, so full of love and joy! Each of us could go on and on about how he lifted us up when we were down and made light of simple hardships. Each one of us grieves Darren’s loss today, and I would expect our sadness to continue. It does not go away, as time passes it will fade but will never be forgotten. We are all so lucky to have known Darren and our lives are richer and fuller because of him. We love him so much, rest well our Darren!
