Digi, the impact you've had on all of us is something that can never be forgotten. Hearing the news of your passing was one of the hardest things to hear. Every memory I have of you is precious, and I miss hearing your voice.

May you rest peacefully, you wonderful soul.

It’s been a long time old friend. I’m sorry to hear that you’re no longer with us. I still remember hanging out with you and meeting you back in 2020 in vrc and seeing how you always put a smile on everyone’s face even when they were feeling down. You always were the life of the party before and to hear that you’re gone saddens me since I always wanted you to live life as good as possible and I hope you did after all these years and I do apologize for not keeping in touch after 2020. Rest in peace my old friend.

Darren or as i knew him, Digi was one of my very early VRChat friends, i met him around mid 2019, that due to Time Zones i could only ever see on Fridays and Saturdays but to him... it didn't matter.

Sadly... Over the last 2 years i could basically never interacted with him to due very clashing Schedules only to meet him once around 2 Weeks ago, so we chatted for a few minutes and then it was bed time.
I only found out about his passing on the 25th and it honestly didn't hit me that hard then, until now. It hit me.
I called of work today to break down and realise what happened... My Friend is gone and there is nothing i can do.
So many news i wanted to share with you, good and bad.
So much i wanted to talk to you about.
So much i wanted to do.
So much time we never had.

I miss you buddy, more than i thought i would honestly.
I don't believe in god or anything like that, but damn it i hope they give you a Suite up there.

I feel like anything i type is not good enough. But this is the best you will get from me.
Im gonna end it on one of my fav Digi quotes from his early Twitch Streaming times.
""Well, There is no *bone* that makes you happy when you touch it.... Wait no, no, don't quote that.""

You dork, you left before me. It's not fair. Wish I knew why but it won't change what's happened. Gonna miss you and you making me laugh, your voice still rings in my head calling me a goober and a dork. Gonna really miss you. It really hurts ya know, youve had me crying all day but I guess that's a good thing. Instead of being sad, I'm just gonna be happy I got to know you while you was here and that part of you will still remain in my head. Love you ya dork.

Hey, Digi.

I just found out. I saw some pictures posted in a discord a few days ago. I didn't pay them any mind, until I took a closer look at them. It was in a church, with a coffin, and pictures of you. I was confused for a good couple minutes then I started doing research. I went to the steam profile and saw people saying rest in peace, I didn't want to believe it, then Ray sent me this. I'm going to miss you, my friend. I will always cherish the laughs and games we played. You were always fun to be around, even if I was only there for a few minutes.

I regret not hanging out with you more. Last I knew you were in such good health! You were always working out, and goofing around on VR. I'm going to really miss you. You introduced me to so many people I would never have met, or not met for a VERY long time otherwise. You were, are, and always will be an amazing person, Digi.

Keep being the awesome person you are, no matter where your soul goes. Make people happy no matter what.

Yo buddy.

Whilst our interactions on VR remained brief, you were a very friendly and familiar sight in the time I was exploring myself on the platform. You welcomed me, made sure I was included and treated me, an otherwise outsider to the group - with respect. Very few went that far for me. And all without even needing to exchange a single word.

Thanks, friend. See you again.

I didn't spend a lot of time with "Digi," but the time I did was always a blast. It's a shock to hear he is gone so soon. I wish the family well, and I know he will be missed and remembered by the friends he has made.

Digi was one of the few I could really just let go and talk about anything always bringing light and laughs to each and every moment Digi felt like more than a friend he was family. Though many of the hardest times and the best of times. I'm going to miss the deep talks we've had and the fun moments of absolute randomness but most of all I'm going to miss his presence, his laugh and his amazing sense of humor.

Digi....
I'm gunna miss you so much, thank you for always supporting me when I was struggling with myself and always making me laugh in those tough times. I loved playing games with you and messing around with you, having our inside jokes together was always the greatest, I hope you learned to love catgirls and don't think they are abusive anymore.

To answer your question you asked so much, No... I'm not hungry, You silly.

I suddenly started hearing your passing and it hit me hard. You were truly an amazing person and I was glad to hung out with you in VRC, wished we could have hung out more but my work schedule would be all over the place. God called you home but gamers don’t die we respawn!!!

To his family your son knew how to make people laugh and had a lot of friends that care about him. You truly had an awesome son that you brought into this world and will be missed dearly.

I met Digi in 2020, we like others met on our Virtual reality community. Digi, had larger than life personality, he was kind and loving to all. He did not discriminate, he lived and loved loudly. I alone with other will miss his daily Commentary, and great laughs. Fly high Digi, gone way to soon but never forgotten. Zodiac

Digi you were always the most amazing, positive, and kind person to be around and always so fun to be with your light shined brighter than anyone's no matter how dark the game we played was

I'm going to miss you and all the times we spent together it hurts not being able to see or spend time with you anymore but I'll always keep those memories we shared together close to my heart of us being up all night playing in vrc or just talking in dms about the dumb little things that we did ik you're in a better place now and until we meet again and go on another adventure greater than our last for old times sake my friend

Rest in peace Digi
Love you dork <3

Digi, you are truly one of the most fun people I've had the privilege of meeting. You had so much energy, so much excitement, so much happiness in your personality. Always quick to pick up on things and add to anything that was going on around you. You listened and cared about any personal things i had going on. Your presence is always a good one and I'm really going to miss it and you.

We'd get into so much stupid fun together. I'll never forget how much we talked about chicken wings and pizza. We talked about it so much, to the point where we'd hype ourselves up over it. It sounds silly but that was our stupid little thing we always did together and I cherish those memories.

I'm so glad to have had you in my life. You truly made an impact on me. I'll never forget the memories we made together. Thank you Digi.

Digi welcomed everyone with open arms and didn't judge. He cared of his friends and was always there if you needed him. He knew how to lift up the mood, and anyone who talked with him, left with a smile on their face. I've never met such a loving and genuine person before, and I looked up on him.

I met Digi back in 2019 in VRChat. I've always had trust issues, but he became such a good friend right away, and someone who had all of my respect. Sadly time zones and other stuff made it hard to spending time with Digi during past few years, but every time I joined him, he was always that same goofy friend. Even when I saw him the last time about a month ago, he told me I can always join him whenever I want.

World took you away from us unexpectedly and way too soon, but it will never take away the memories and laugh filled time we spent with you. We will always remember you and have you in our hearts.
Look us from above Digi, and welcome us with your smile when we meet again.
Rest in peace my friend

Rest in peace, old friend.

I met him in VRChat all the way back in 2020 and became quick friends with him.
He was always very kind to me, always easy to talk to and it was always a blast having him around.

Even though I haven't been able to see him much the past few years, I have never forgotten him or the many great moments we were able to spend together. I am truly grateful to have been able to call him a friend.

I will miss you, we all will.
Rest in peace, Digi

Digi, you were a kindhearted goofball that put a smile on so many people's faces. You always stayed so positive everywhere you went always having something silly to say. You were an old friend that I wish I kept talking to, if I had things would have been so much more positive in my life. I know it's been a while since I got to chat with you but I will miss you so much. Rest in peace you kind soul, the world won't be the same without you.

Digi you were one of the good ones, I always loved talking to you during party's and your laugh was infectious. I used to make fun of the kirito model you used and always said it looked like a fidget spinner. I'll never forget the time we spent together. I hope I'll see you in heaven Digi hearing that laugh when I'm up there.
I'll miss you buddy

We've been good friends for more than 3+ years, met you through B. You're one of the 1st few friends I had online that treated me like a genuine person and not just some guy online.

Rest in Peace and knowing you, you may still manage to be a magnet to men and women in heaven or another life.




I have other friend groups but it did not stop you from inviting me to your own server to play, met a lot of good people there over the years and friends to this day.

Getting that message that day when you have passed devastated me almost as much as when my sister passed away. There will always be a hole in my heart now whenever were in our friend group and I know it'll be the same for them.

But do know, where ever you are now that we will still be playing games, hangout, and simply have fun and make friends with new people like you did. You've affected our lives in more ways that you may have thought and I wish you knew that or maybe you did but like in Digi fashion you'll shrug it off as nah I'm just another normal guy in the Internet.

Digi, or DaddyDigiorno as I knew Darren when I first met him in the Pug in VRChat in 2019 was then and forever was surrounded with people. Randoms he courted in public worlds, friends, all sorts of people. All of them made happy by his infectious humour and energy. I used to often drop in on him when he was streaming in his signature skeleton avatar in a tuxedo and top hat. He'd also often drop in on me back then too. I was always happy to see him because he was always so joyful.

I saw him online in VRChat just the other day and almost went to see him, but was busy with other people. I thought, "I'll catch him later". And so it's with great sadness and regret that I've found out about his passing this last Sunday.

As sad as I am, I dug out an old video of him I made in 2019, and even though it's years ago and I've seen it many times, I just was in tears laughing again. That's who Digi was to all of us. Anyone whose life he touched.

Goodbye, old friend.

I had met him through my partner and quickly learned that he was really funny and just a great guy to be around. Could quickly get everyone laughing and eventually learned that he was also a really down to earth guy that very much cared for all of his friends deeply. The world lost a real one and may he rest easy.

I was still getting to know the guy and yet he made such an impact that I was always looking forwardto him coming around. He started hanging out more and we had small plans to play games together after a while. Friday nights were the time we were all suppose to hang out together, relax and laugh. I'm heartbroken knowing I won't see him anymore, but I'll certainly remember him. He had a humor very similar to us and especially a sweetness about him. He cared a lot about us...

When i heard it for first time, i cannot believe it.
When we meet first time together, he learned a bit about my hard of hearing.
Not much later, i showed him my Sign&Fun world and guide around in VRChat.
And later for Halloween fun, i made graveyard stone for him on my graveyard area.

Several times, he comes to me, and i come also to him. We are both streamers, so i raided sometimes to him and visited sometimes to him.
He is very nice person. Even after 5 years, he still know me in VRChat. We talked a bit, hang out, laugh together, hugged together. Thank you for your kindness and fun times, i will never forget it.

I am gonna make memorial world for him as last thanks for everything. Because I saved a lot videos and also some streams of him. We can remember this way his great times with us in VRChat.

I was really shocked he is not more on earth. And he is still young person, unbelievable. I will miss him very much. Condolences to family.
Rest in Peace, Digi / Darren.

Darren (Digi to his online friends on VRC) was a great man. He always made me laugh, smile, and dragged me out of my head. Made the world a better and brighter and more durable place. I wish that I could have spent more time with him, and the world is much less bright without him in it.

My condolences to his family and loved ones, and I hope that you rest well in paradise my dear friend. We will see each other again one day.

Darren aka Digi was and still is an amazing friend who always brought joy to me and others. Even though he left us physically his spirit will remain in our hearts.

Fare well my friend until we meet again in the next life.

You were one of the very first people I met in VRC, and still to this day the person who made me smile the most with all of your funny comments and jokes, so energetic and happy all the time, which in turn made everyone around you happy too. You are the one who got me into streaming (I ended up quitting) But the way you had so much fun with it, and were passionate about it, made me give it a try too, and I never would have met many of my close friends today if I hadn't. You will be missed dearly by MANY. Thank you for all the amazing memories, haven't had a single bad one with you around <3

I met Digi thru my husband Gramps about a month before we got married. I have so many memories of him and its hard to pick my favorite one. I know when he was not feeling well I always offered to make him soup, he always told me no I dont do soup. I knew he didnt but I always offered.

Gramps and I are honored to have known you and been a small part of your world. Thank you for all the memories we now cherish. We love and miss you so much.

Digi was someone I am glad I met. He let me into his group of friends where I met a lot of good people, which I always had and still do have trouble with. He accepted me for me and I am really glad to have met him and get to be one of his many friends. He was one of the most caring people I have met and he was a bright light that people gravitated towards.

You will be missed. And Thank You for all you did.

Darren (or as many of us had known him, "Digi") was one of the few people who I felt exemplified a genuine human being in my experience in online gaming.

He was always so positive even when things seemed bleak, and could easily brighten your day with just his presence.

I am glad I was able to not only meet him, and call him friend, but be able to help bring some of his creative visions to life. I could've honestly listened to this guy ramble about his character ideas for hours, and I did!

It was one of the fondest memories I have, sitting in Discord, trying to work out his character design for his OC. Something that usually is just a paragraph I have to read, he decided, "nah I'm not going to write all that, let's just chat a while". It was really nice to see someone so genuinely excited about something and be a part of that excitement.

Although we eventually grew apart, I still considered Digi a friend, and would periodically check in on the antics that he and his very loving friend group were up to. (Whether it be in the server, or his goofy profile statuses)

He truly will be missed, and I'm really glad he had a group of friends that cared about him.

Through all these years I've known him, through all the games we played, conversations we had and time we spend he would always cheer the people around him up, be it with helpful advice, a funny joke or even a cursed comment, we all laughed a lot with him.

Today these laughs stopped because we can't believe he got taken from us.
Despite that I can't help but smile when I think back on all the memories we made.
You definitely got taken to early from this world and I will miss you dearly Digi.
I wish all of his family and friends much strenght in these times and my condolences.

May you rest in peace my friend, till the day we meet each other again.

Digi (DaddyDigiorno)..
Back in 2019, I lost a really good friend, someone very special to me in VRChat. I honestly felt lost.
But then this man swoops in and saves the day!
He brighten up my gloomy days and helped me meet more amazing people that I still talk to today.
I remember having emote made for your channel as repayment for the joy you've given us. (Though you later rebranded after xD)
We would often tease you a lot but it was all fun and laughs. I have so many funny clips with you.
I remember when you invited me to your minecraft server, when you were playing on a lava display and then fall in it after.
I remember swooping in instantly to save you from death. Oh how I wish I could do it now as well..
You are easily one of the best ever people I've met in VRChat.
You always lit up the room no matter what and who was there, and brings joy and happiness to everyone.
Every memory I remember of you were all funny and unforgettable.
There was so many more things I wanted to share with you whenever I got back in VRC.
I just wish I was able to do so much sooner.
I remember our last interaction was last year, when you rolled over your sleep and started calling me on my DM's xD. (Talk about a unique way to slide into someone's DM's! I made a funny tweet about it. xD)

I could go on and on and say everything about how amazing you are as not just a friend, but a person.. All those fun memories..
But it will never feel enough.

Gone too soon.. Rest easy good ol friend.
We will miss you dearly.

You were an amazing friend and member of the community to be around. Hearing of your departing hurt. I didn't know you will and I won't pretend I did. I enjoyed the time we did interact. You will be missed. You will also be remembered. See you later, Digi.

Digi, you were one of the best people I have met and gotten to know.
You were incredibly kind and hilarious, always balancing respect with making joy of a moment and trying to keep going forward.
Never letting the distance of online or time being apart ever sour a friendship, always ever welcoming me back to the circle whenever I came around as if I never left.
Every memory I have of you is something that always just makes me laugh my mind out, you were so funny, and how you went out of your way to check in on folks you felt weren't doing good, even going so far to rally for one of our friends when something horrible happened to them is something that has always settled with me as an inspiration.

I'm going to miss you man, you were one of THE best I have ever gotten to know through out my life and I had an incredible amount of deep respect for you.

Thank you for everything, I wish you didn't have to leave us so soon...

Mandy,
My heart is with you, grieving alongside you, because losing a grown son is an unimaginable loss. How well I know. May you find peace and strength in the love surrounding you and let your son's spirit guide you through your darkest days. Because he will. Just make sure that your mind and heart is open to receive any signs or messages that he sends you.
Cherish those precious memories of him, and relive them over and over again, as they are truly what is going to bring you the greatest comfort and peace. And always keep those memories of him alive.
Please know, that I will always be here for you, anytime of the day or night, for you to vent, scream, cuss, cry, rant, rave or just need someone to listen...whatever it takes to help you thru this. And for ever how long it takes. And I mean that!
I will say this from my own experience, It does get easier to deal with as time goes on, BUT it is something that you will never get over. Grieving has no expiration date, because everyone grieves in their own ways. And don't let anyone tell you any different. And the first person that tells you to get over it...I hope that you're the strong and confident Miller woman that our mama's raised, to haul off and punch that m/f!
If there's anything you need, please let me know.
Sending you all my love and strength to help you navigate through this loss.
You and your precious family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Donna

I love and will always love you.

Digi, I know we didn't have that much of a connection, but reading through the comments left here had me effected by your passing. I just wish we had time to talk, maybe splurge about our hyper-fixations. When I got told that you didn't hate me, you just forgot, I was in honest shock. I never knew. I never knew you didn't hate me. Until now, until you're already gone.

All I can wish is that you're okay in wherever you ended up now. Maybe when we all meet up again, we can finally be friends.

My heartfelt condolences to his family in this tough time. Darren was a good man. He was incredibly down to earth and put passion in anything he set his mind to. His sense of humor and quick witted remarks always got a laugh from the people in the room. He knew exactly how to include people and make them feel like they fit in. These aspects will be sorely missed. From the bottom of my heart I’ll miss you old friend.

Digi was one of the goofiest people with one of the most lovable personalities I've ever met. We met in Terrors of Nowhere through Sal and quickly hit off from there. He was always making my day exponentially brighter with his jokes, no matter how it was going.

Rest well, Digi, let's meet again in the future, we all miss you.

Darren was one of the most sincere, genuine people I've ever had the gift of knowing. His lively, infectious positive energy made everyone he spoke too always so cheerful, and his humor made everyone around him chuckle with glee. His uplifting, heartwarming greeting that he always gave me is something that cannot be replaced, nor forgotten. You were so kind, loving, and affectionate, and I know you'll always be missed by the community and every who knew you.

To his family, and his closest friends, I wish you the absolute best during these times.

Until we meet again, Digi. May you find peace in paradise.

Digi was one of my very first friends when I joined the world of vr. He will always be my dear friend even though we (lovingly) bullied each other. His laugh always made the conversations brighter and his energy made the day better. I’m regretful that I didn’t get to spend more time with him, but I will cherish every photo and every memory that I have. Thank you for all the smiles you made and the laughs we shared. I will miss you greatly and I hope you can finally rest well.

This really caught me off guard. It's been a while since I bumped in to Digi more often in the virtual space but he was without a doubt a person that left an impression. A great personality with a very memorable sense of humour and ability to connect with people in a unique but refreshing way that made him jump out to me in a sea of online people. Most of all I saw what he meant to others closer to him and the way those connections played out so endearingly. To them I can only give my condolences for it's without a doubt a tragic loss.

Digi was a kind man, Someone who always treated me as an equal, He never looked through me, even at times i felt like everyone else did, I will truly miss his presence in my life, and his ability to make me laugh or feel comfortable at times when I really needed it. He's truly someone who deserved a longer time in this world. I"ll miss you my friend.

Oh, Digi... When I met you, I called you the anime protagonist because of your goofy lovable voice, and told you that you'd be an amazing voice actor. That immediately led to a great friendship where we bonded over animation and games. Even when life changed for me and I drifted away, you'd come poke at me to chat and spend time together. You were always quick to notice when I'd be feeling down and you wouldn't stop until I was cheered up at least a little bit. I wish you were still here to do that and tell me a funny joke or treat me like I was something special. You will missed and remembered with so much fondness for a long long time Digi. Rest in peace.

Rest easy Digi. You'll always be with us in our memories and the impact you had on our lives.

You were someone who was easy to talk to, great at making everyone laugh and just an all-around great guy to have in your corner. I'm gonna miss having you around in, and I'm seriously gonna miss our conversations. You gave me hope that I would eventually find a way to manage my chronic stomach problems, and the fact we both struggled with them is something we bonded over often. When I would get really down about it you knew exactly what to say to make me laugh, and that's something that meant a lot to me. Thank you for being apart of my life, you'll be missed man.

To the family; You have my condolences. Wishing you all the best and I'm sorry for your loss.

Digi was one of the kindest people I've ever known. he made a point to befriend the quiet usually unoticed and make them feel seen and heard. it didn't matter how long we'd not spoken you were his friend once you were his friend forever. He was the protagonist hero down to his core. not just because of his bravery, charm, or goofiness but by what he would give and do for others, the determination to make everybody's day better. you weren't allowed to be sad around digi he wouldn't allow it, he'd find a way to make you laugh or smile like it was his mission in life. He could be having the roughest of days and still be the first to Crack a joke sending everyone into laughing fits.

I'll miss you so much my digiboi, but much like you always said it's never goodbye , " I'll see you soon dork."
May this next journey be your biggest adventure yet, we'll see you at the big boss level

I got to know Darren as Digi via online games and such.

He was such a wonderful friend and he'll be missed.

I remember my first interaction with Darren (digi), it was a fair bit of playful goofing around on a game.

Darren i hope you rest well and that you may go on many more adventures in the next world.

I'll miss you my friend.

To all i wish to express condolences.

He was an amazing friend. I only ever knew him as Digi. He was a guy who, when I was uncomfortable adding him as a friend for a long time because his avatar was something I feared and didn't want to see regularly in my friends list, completely empathized with me and was still happy to chat and hang out anytime he saw me in VR, even knowing I had his avatar hidden. When he changed his main avatar, he immediately showed off to me and I happily added him as a friend that day. That was about 4 years ago. He was always happy having long conversations with me if he had the time, and we talked about many things over the years. He always encouraged me in all I did and was truly the nicest of the nice guys. I wish I could have met him in person. He was truly fascinating, and he touched the lives of everyone he came across and befriended.
Thank you Darren, my friend Digi. You will be remembered and you will be missed. I hope you find peace, and I hope you can continue on the voice acting path you enjoyed so much wherever you end up now. Rest well my friend.

I cannot state this enough, but this was a man who, when you were his friend, it really felt like you had someone in your corner. To the best of his ability, if you were going through stuff, he'd support you in whatever way he could on and offline. So much like he'd state he was happier than happy because of those around him, he too, made a lot of us happy with his friendship. Rest easy, friend.

From the moment we met I knew that we would be fast friends, with your energetic and positive personality, the genuine love you had for those around you and your passion for the VR, the community and everyone you met you left a lasting impression.

I never expected just how close we would be and I will forever cherish the memories we made and shared together, the long conversations we would have, both the good and hard times. You were someone special and will always hold a special place in my heart. The world is a lesser place without you. I love you and will miss you more than I can say.

The moment that you left me
My heart split in two
One side filled with memories The other side died with you.
I often lay awake at night
When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane
With tears upon my cheek.
Remembering you is easy
I do it everyday
But missing you is a heartache
That never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
And there you will remain
As my life goes on without you
But will never be the same.
