Condolences to the ever faithful Sis. Bonnie and the family. We at Mtn. View Church in Loveland only had the privilege of knowing Bro. Darr for a few fleeting months, but he and Bonnie had quickly become a vital part of our congregation. Our great grief at his leaving is surpassed by the joyful knowledge that he is now making heaven sweeter just as he made our fellowship so. We have no doubt that he will be waiting for us "just inside the Eastern gate over there."
- Wayne Skeen for the Mtn. View Church of God (Holiness)

I truly loved my Uncle Charles. He was a true light for Christ in my life. He made a difference every day. I have so many amazing memories that time can never dull. I rejoice that I will see him again one day.

We will truly miss our dear friend, Charles Darr. He was a wonderful inspiration to all he came in contact with. He would pray for us and all our family, which is something we will miss so much. His books he was writing right up to his last breath will live on in all our lives. We thank God for the privilege we had of knowing him and having him attend our church for several years. Our sympathy goes out to all his family.
