Darren John Glenister ( born Parker ) 29th December 1982 - 3rd July 2007 aged just 24 when he died.
Darren was living in Oxford near his Mum and Dad before he died.
Darren left behind his Mum Jenny, Dad Tony, Brothers Daniel, Max and Scott and Sisters Vickie, Jo,
Becky, Sammy and Jasmine.
Darren had 2 nephews called Morgan and Jacob and a niece called Cleo.
He is sadly missed by us all each and every day.
Darren chose the wrong paths in life due to boredom and turned to drugs as a result of the boredom.
It is sad to say he chose to take Heroin and had the unfortunate luck of overdosing causing cardiac
arrest.
Darren, you were so clever and had so much going for yourself in life babe. I wish you would have
seen the consequences before it was too late. You were always so care free in life and that was what
made you unique and stand out from the crowd. I miss you all the time babe and I still can't believe
you are gone. You are missed by everyone who met, loved and knew you as you touched so many people's
lives.
Happy 26th Birthday
To Darren (Duple), Happy Birthday Bro. You would be 26 today and we will all be thinking of you today and always. I miss you loads babe and wish you were here so we could celebrate you getting older. Keep watching down on us all and we will all be reunited one day soon.
Always in my thoughts and heart, Love you loads

My darling son,you brought so much joy to your family and we miss you so much. the inquest into your death was held and even though the amout of heroin in your system was 2.75 grams, (a lot for any user) your death was deemed accidental.Why? Because you were an occational user.The people who spoke at the inquest about your death who new you because they ran the programm to help users, and also your doctor, and also you had told me and you had know reason to lie to me.We had a great relationship, No matter what you did, I KNOW YOU. We had met that day you passed away, We met at lunch time in same place we had met when you returned from aylesbury to oxford. we sat and talked and had a drink, you looked so well, the best I had seen you for years! we talked about you coming to spend the weekend with us and i was going to cut your hair as you said it was too long and messy.we talked about drugs and you had told me you hadn`t used for atleast 4 days, you looked so well that you made me feel elated! You had also recently been diagnosed with Hep c, it made no difference to anyone who loved you. We had all read up on the condition and understood what it was and what it ment to you.Anyway,we carried on talking. I just cannot express enough how you looked, Your eyes were so blue and shone so bright, Your smile just helped to light up your face. You looked so good! We taiked about god and knowing you had spent your childhood believing that there was no god as you had been told in RE,( you had got confused after having a history lesson,(evolution) that we told you to believe in what you wanted to believe in)you had decided that there was someone after all and had started to read the bible and try to understand that belief. We also talked about astrology, peoples favorite colours and other things. You had told me your favorite colour was purple,the same as mine and you were a crystal child.We said goodbye soon after and hugged, we also told each other we loved them, and reminded you that you were to come home for weekend, you gave me one big smile and walked off....... For your funeral, we incorperated the colour purple and placed a crystal in your hand, along with letters from close family and friends. People who came to pay respects to you also left messages on the inside of the coffin lid(we asked the funeral person john if he could line the lid so people could leave massages). People wore purple ribbons and even the funeral people wore purple ties.We had bought you a new shirt with thin purple stripes,And your dad and brothers wore the same shirts and as we got to the crematorium they picked your coffin up and proudly carried you in as coldplay yellow played. The place was packed with family members and friends. Your brothers and sisters had recorded a poem for you with ava maria playing in the back ground, myself and your dad also recorded a message. Not one person didn`t cry including the funeral people. as the last song played we walked up to the coffin to say we loved you and always will and placed roses on top and then all who were there did the same thing........................Darren, you will always be with me, I LOVE YOU xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Remembered
You were always a great brother i could look up to Darren; you taught me many things...You made some wrong choices as we all do, but you were robbed because of yours...I found out when i was still in America, and was unable to pay my respects properly, but when i found out, a part of me left that day; that part of me was you big bro. You left us all physically, but spiritually, you'll always remain a part of our souls; the sparkle in our eyes; the laughter from a good joke; you are missed every second of every day. And as long as you live in our memories and our hearts, you will never be gone in our eyes. You are missed, but you are also remembered for the happiness you gave us all every day we were blessed with your company. I'll miss you big brother, but i'll also remember, and be happy that you were in my life. Love you forever and always,

my daughter was addicted to heroin ending up in prison for shoplifting to feed her habit, we tried everything to help her but she didnt want to come off drugs she liked it too much. she committed suicide in her cell with only 2 weeks left of her sentence, drugs are a terrible evil, causing so much heartache and pain to all involved especially the families,as the addicts are out of it, they dont mean to hurt us but addiction and their next fix is all they can think about, it does something to their minds. take care and god bless paulinex
my cousin died the same way, its heartbreking that they don't see what they are doing too themselves, and us as there family. love too you all and to darren too. xo
Such a waste of a young life and so sad! I know how you are feeling as we just lost our son 88 days ago, age 28. He overcame his addiction age 22 and was so proud of it! Went on to become a successfull engineer. He would tell any one about his past and the consequences. Heroin was found in his body but we do not believe that he took it voluntary. Our son was RIGHT handed and a needle prick was found in his RIGHT arm. The police are investigating.
I pray with all my heart that they catch the evil person who brought heroin into this house and took our son from us.
This person should be done for manslaughter.
Wish the media would pay more attention to over dosing on Heroin and campaign to catch the dealers, small or large.
All attention seems to be on E's.
Life is so cruel
My thoughts and heartfelt feelings are with you
