Darren Pressley Jr.

 

Darren L Pressley Jr.
Was born on February 25, 1987 in St Louis, Mo. He was called home to be with the LORD on February 20, 2012. He is the only son and the youngest child. Darren accepted Christ and was baptized at a young age. He attended school in the Rockwood school district and graduated from Marquette High School in 2005. He was a very happy and free spirited young man with a wonderful sense of fashion and class. He was a people person and working in retail was his calling. He loved helping his customers find the right look for their event but he was not above telling you “I don’t love it” and that is why everyone loved him. His family was extremely important to him and spending quality time with them and friends meant the world to him. He had a standing Tuesday date with his aunt and grandmother for dinner; however, his niece “Buttabean” was the apple of his eye. Darren always lived life on his terms, never caring what anyone else thought about him, and that is why he will always be remembered as TheClassyOne!!!!!!!!

    My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Darren and I worked together and spent some time outside of work. Even though he was in my life for a short period of time, I am deeply saddened by his passing. I will never forget him. God Bless.

    Darren was my absolute FAVORITE customer at the Bread Co. where I work as a manager. He always brightened up my day with his warm personality. Just the other day, I wondered, Where is Darren?! I love you, Darren!!!! And you will ALWAYS be my favorite customer. You will be missed by all of us at the Galleria. God Bless. I also want to pass along my condolences to the family. Darren was truly remarkable person.

    Just found out today… My head hasn’t been right all day. Found out from a customer we both knew from that “one” store. I adored you because I had a fellow fan of beoynces to chat with and watch u sing and dance in the store. You knew I adored you… And still do and always will. U stop working in the mall and seems like I miss everything. Miss you coming in the other store I started working in while you were at the limited and to see you… Made me immediately. I adore u always classy one.
