In the face of adversity, Daryl forged meaningful connections and formed lasting friendships. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate healthcare professionals who became an integral part of his extended family, with a special acknowledgement to John Walker and Mary Dolkos. Mr. John, a true friend, developed a brotherly bond with Daryl, treating him with dignity and respect. Daryl appreciated the moments of shared laughter, music and conversations about life’s joys. Ms. Mary, a comforting presence in his final days, enveloped him in love and compassion until his last moments on earth. Daryl enjoyed all things WWE, bravely wrestling with his ailment much like the champions he admired. His infectious enthusiasm for life and his unique ability to find joy in simple pleasures will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
