Condolence: I was one of Darnell's teachers in the Hudson Link pre-college program. He was a person of rare composure, determination, and intelligence, and it was a pleasure having him in the class. I am deeply saddened by his passing and offer heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Condolence: Darnell was my student in Hudson Link's Pre-College Program at Sing Sing. I found him to be hard-working and very forthright about his desire to educate himself as a way of making amends to his family and the community for his past misdeeds. All of his teachers liked and admired him. Please accept my condolences for his untimely death.

Condolence: Darnell was in my pre-college math class in 2016-17. In each class he was a bright and beaming presence, always good-humored; it was a joy to have him in the class. My deepest condolences to his family.
