A lovely Mass was held for Darrell at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Lake Orion MI. Gerald and Jada Edwards--founders of the Edwards Foundation--announced the Darrell Ives Award, which will be awarded each year at the Foundation's Gala event. This award will be presented to the person exemplifying Darrell's spirit of compassion, love, support and passion for the mission of the foundation.
Martin and Andy of Depeche Mode were in attendance and announced a trust fund established by the band for Darrell's children Vinnie and Keonna as well as their plans to continue support of the Edwards Foundation in Darrell's memory.

A luncheon was held after the ceremony where we all enjoyed photographs of Darrell exchanged funny stories and viewed a lovely video presentation of his life, his family & friends and his work with the foundation.
We are still all in shock. Africa has truly lost a son.
