Sadly Darren passed away after a brief but brave fight against Bacterial Meningitis. Darren was feeling unwell and complained of a severe headache on the morning of New Years Day 2011, where he sought help from Clevedon Cottage Hospital. When he returned home, Darrens condition rapidly deteriorated. He was rushed to Weston General Hospital where he continued to fight against the illness, but later that night Darrens condition took a turn for the worse and he lost his battle on the afternoon of the 2nd January 2011. It was a traumatic time for his family, who were there with him throughout the last moments of his life. Darren who grew up and lived most of his life in Yatton has always been a keen sports person within the community, having previously played for local teams at cricket, football, pool and darts. His next venture was going to be rugby where he had already began training. His son Joshua who is 3 years old, partner Jenny, family and friends will all sorely miss Darren who was always hardworking and a dedicated father, son, brother, partner and uncle.
