We are long time frequent customers of Ricky’s. To hear of Darnell’s passing greatly saddens us. Darnell was down to earth- tell it like it is kind of guy. He was always singing & if you weren’t smiling you’d be laughing as you left the store. Positive vibes. Darnell will be truly missed by many. Our heart goes out to his family. Prayers for comfort & peace today, days to come as well to his family. Heaven has gained another angel.
