I went to IvyTech with Darby. He was so smart, talented, and in his own way funny. We worked together on many projects and he even help me with a print deadline with his own printer. He was a good man. My heart is broken for his family. Please accept my families condolences. Rest In Peace sweet man.

Darby has been a very valuable member of our company for several years. He has his own unique style and personality, and we all accepted and had fun with him because his many talents overshadowed all objections. I personally learned so many things I didn't know I needed to learn. He will be surely missed at Fewell Monument.
