Darnell Devon Douglass was born on March 18, 1986, in Berkeley, California, to Bryan Douglass and ReGina Allen. At a young age, Darnell moved to Texas and attended elementary school in the Dallas and Longview school districts.
Darnell developed a love for art at an early age. Whenever the family went on a long car ride, he made sure to bring his special collection of ”stuff”- colored & mechanical pencils, drawing pad, and army men. This reflected his creativity, imagination, and the things that brought him joy as a child.
Darnell had a wonderful sense of humor and was known for his jokes, laughter, and BIG smile. He had a personality all his own, and those who knew him will remember the moments of laughter and the memories they shared with him.
Life does not follow the same path for everyone. Some journeys carry challenges that others may never fully see or understand. Darnell faced struggles in his life, but those struggles were only one part of his story. Darnell was so much more! He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend, and a person whose life was connected to the lives of many others. His story deserves to be remembered with compassion, dignity, and love.
As family and friends gather to honor his memory, may they find comfort in remembering… HIM… the young boy with his drawing supplies, the skateboarder, the jokester, and the man he became whose strength, courage and love will remain with us forever.
