I first met Darren in 1982, and we have been friends since that time. I really admired his ability to find the positive and humorous side of things. He was a very good story teller, and he had a natural ability to make people laugh and smile. Darren went out of his way to keep in touch with me and my family, even when he was teaching in Northern Manitoba. We had many interesting conversations about Hockey, Football, Baseball, and Soccer. Darren was very talented, and I enjoyed listening to him as a hockey broadcaster, and watching him act in plays at Acadia. I feel very fortunate to have met Darren and to be his friend.
Our sincere condolences to Diane, Haley, Katelyn, Taylor, Tom and Lois, and to other family members, and close friends.
Peter, Brenda, Matthew, Daniel, and Ryan Hanson

My deepest condolences to Darren’s family.
I met Darren when he arrived at DES, and we worked together there for several years.
He was a great principal, who brought new ideas to the school, and always had time to spend with staff and students alike.
RIP , Darren!

To Mr. Porter's family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. I met Mr. Porter when he was principal at DES and always found him to be kind and caring. My kids really liked him because they saw him as a friend not just the principal. He will be remembered fondly by the many children and parents who had the opportunity to know him. RIP Mr. Porter.

Darren was the first principal to hire me at Digby Elementary school for a temporary position. I was fresh out of university and he gave me a chance. I learned so much from him over the years. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family.
