I cant believe this has happened. Darren was a fantastic engineer, but, more importantly, he was a genuinely lovely person. I can't count the number of times he's offered me great advice, or helped me out of a tight spot when a project had gone awry. He was always so patient with me in my undergraduate years, and had a brilliant ability to help without making you feel stupid (even when you were a kid making stupid mistakes!). I wouldn't be the engineer I am today without him, and the University won't feel the same without him around. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

It was very sad news. Darren helps me a lot of building my test rig for my PhD project. I first met him in the Electronics Lab around 2017 and constantly works with him through different project. My condolences are with his family.

Darren made this innovative drive for us some years ago. Great work by a really nice guy. Such sad news.
