  5. Lil Bro you will be missed. Me and your brother Blue has been friends/brothers since Atari and ColecoVision. That would put you at around 3 or 4 years old I am guessing. That automatically makes you our Lil Bro. You grew up to be a great young man that stood on business. Growing up you always wanted to fellow your big brother Blue everywhere we went. Nothing but good memories of you. Take your rest. This definitely not a goodbye but see you later. This is a journey that we all must take one day.

We met on that football field in 1996 boi did we have to run so many laps because we just couldn’t shut up, we always had our team mates laughing cause all we would do was Joan each other all day. To the present, you started your own business making cheese cakes and I was so proud of you that I had you cater my birthday party and man all they talk about was your cake. We always kept in touch and updated on what was going on in our lives bra I’m hurt out here and gonna miss you from me your brother/team mate I’m gonna miss the hell out of you😥😥😥😥😥

  9. All my memories are long gone but not forgotten. Cuz you will be truly missed by family and friends. Your life was cut too short but your spirit will last forever.

  10. Dear Lord, please give us the Strength and Will to bear our heavy burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of your divine compassion. Dartell you were truly loved and the world was a better place with you in it. Your laughter and smile echoed and always made everyone and everything better! We miss you tremendously cousin…..

  11. One of my favorite memories of Dartel was when I first moved to Atlanta years ago and one of the first things I wanted to do was go to see my grandmother Mae who lived in Alabama. I called my Aunt Helen and Dartel said “tell her I will drive her”! So off we went just the two of us and Dartel knew that route like the back of his hand. We laughed and talked the entire way. That meant so much to me back then and I never forgot that he did that for me because there was no way I was driving to Alabama by myself! My Grandmother was so glad to see us and really couldn’t believe it but thanks to him I had the best most memorable time with them. But that was Dartel. Always a big heart and willing to help anyone in the family and loved everyone. My other memories are when he was a little boy who lived not far from us in Akron with Brian and Sean and we used to visit them. Such fun times back then and I am thankful for the memories. So that’s what makes this loss so hard because we all need people like him but God needed him more. His work is done here but he made his mark and we will cherish and miss him forever.

  12. To the Blue and Towler Family – Wishing we could all be there with you. Dartel will live forever in our hearts. LOVE Lib and Family

  13. Extending our deepest sympathies in the loss of your dear loved one.

  14. Our hearts goes out to Mother Blue in her time of bereavement. Dartel was a fine young man that made the best cheesecake you ever tasted and was friendly to everyone. He will surely be missed by us and many others. We will continually keep the family in prayer.
