He was elected financial manager of Cameron Farms in 1995 and with God’s blessings, served his community in a selfless manner, with a special heart for the fatherless. His kind and generous heart and deeds of caring touched many lives and will be remembered. Darius you will be sorely missed. May your soul rest in Peace.
