Throughout his years in the construction industry, he formed numerous friendships and bonds that would last a lifetime. He was known by many titles to the ones he loved including “Doodle Bug”, “Bruh Bruh”, “Doo Doo”, “Darrolyn”, “Uncle D”, “T-man” and “D”. He will be greatly missed by every life he touched.
