In memory of Darrell McDonald

Feb 19, 2025

Amy McDonald

Darrell sadly passed away at home on the 25th of January 2025, aged 44 years. Hands down the most loving, kind, and joyful husband, Daddy, son and brother, who touched the lives of so many with his positive and brave approach to life. We will all miss him beyond belief, but his legacy will live on through his loving family and many friends. Instead of flowers, Darrell requested any kind donations to the charities that have supported him, and our whole family, over his journey, as he called it: Sarcoma UK, Princess Alice Hospice, The Royal Marsden and The Ruth Strauss Foundation. Thank you so much.
