He was the first born child to both parents, but would later become an amazing big brother to his siblings, Derrick Shannon, Shardae Shannon, Donald Williams, Skye Williams and Alexis Williams, all of Saint Louis, Missouri. Darryl started a relationship with the Lord at a very early age and knew the word like no other.

Darryl was a grandfather to five grandchildren, Ta’von James, Jr., Taron James (Papa’s Rollie), Taylor James, Levelle Pryor and Tarina-Joy Pryor (Papa’s Baby). Darryl loved to read and was a great chess player. He taught this skill to his nephew, Elijah, who he enjoyed playing chess with, creating a significant and special bond amongst the two. He loved going on walks and hanging out with his brother, Derrick who he shared a very special friendship and everlasting bond with. He enjoyed spending time with his family and was a protector of those he loved, especially his grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Darryl was a very caring and loving son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. He looked out for his loved ones and dedicated his life to them until the end.
