While driving yesterday, this…
While driving yesterday, this beautiful sunset reminded me of two very special people we have lost too soon. It also reminded me how lucky I was to have them in my life! I Love You DJ! I Love You McDonald Family!
I can't believe it's been a year since you've been gone. I'll always hold you close to my heart. Until we meet again, I'll be thinking of you.

Darin is forever loved. Broken in body but not is spirit. He fought the fight. He gave his all. Eight years after his accident his body got tired. He showed us all how to still live and give love, show forgiveness, give compassion and made us laugh. Now in heaven free at last. 

We love you Darin James with all our hearts. 

Mom and Dad

Carlsbad, CA. Our first time …
Carlsbad, CA. Our first time in SD since his celebration. I was talking to DJ through the sunset with tears in my eyes as Kaia danced in the water.....I asked him for a sign and within minutes, DJ greeted me clicking his heels in the clouds, pain free. I called out to my family and asked if they saw anything in the clouds. They immediately did and we cried tears of happiness to know he was with us….. Kaden looked down right then and found the rock. My Brother DJ, I miss, you. I love you. God Bless you

HI DJ Nation.

Tomorrow marks the one year since Darin's passing. I know you all have thought about him this year. We think about him every day.

Life simply is not the same. Not as good, not as great. As Billy Bob Thorton said who lost his brother,,, On my best days, im only 50% happy and 50% sad. There is a void that simply cant be filled. He Magic made for a bigger hole.

What a legend of a man we were blessed to know and love. As his day comes upon us tomorrow, i ask you to do one thing . Remember him, remember how he made you feel, and how he impacted you. Force yourself to smile, laugh and remember him as much as you can as you go through the day. Let his memory help us be good to each other and make strangers smile. Remember what really matters, take time to tell folks how you feel about them.

Give hugs, listen, care for others as he did for us all. Lets send him our love tomorrow. The Power of positive and thanks up to the heavens, all of us like a choir, tomorrow. Look up. see if you can see him in the clouds. keep looking, he's in that cloud right over there!

Peace and love to DJ's Posse!

Got up early today.   Got a nice note from Pokey (Ty).     DJ loved golf and ping pong.    got me thinking this morning that we sadly never got full closure on who was a better ping pong player.   said differently, DJ never really came to grips with the fact i was just a tiny tiny bit better, which was enough for me.   that is really bothering me.   hopefully god settled that with him and laid it out to him sofltly.   i know he would have struggled with that.

I am so very sorry to hear of Darin's passing. We went to grade school together in San Diego and he truly was one of the good ones. Such a sweetheart. I have a few fun pictures of him from those days. He will be missed and remebered by many. Godspeed, DJ! Love from your Didacus family

Mr. D would help me with my homework all of the time, and surprisingly managed to get me through it without a breakdown over a math equation (most of the time). He’d be happy to know I managed to get my taxes done today almost all on my own without a single tear :) Miss you so much always.
