I admit, I haven't known Daryl very long when I first arrived to Gainesville this past summer. Every morning I would go into work and would be greeted by Daryl, who always sported an ear-to-ear smile. He went out of his way to get to know me as Daniel and not just "the guy from Massachusetts". He'd spend whatever time he could talking with us on break, his jovial presence lit up whatever room he walked into. I'm thankful for the time we spent together.
Daryl was the first guy I see when I pull up to work in the morning and always greeted me with a hello. I can still hear his presence to this day and makes me smile every time. I appreciate all the help I received from Daryl, especially when we had air handler issues. Daryl will be truly missed.
My deepest condolences to Daryl's family. It was great working with him and his contributions to the team will be missed. Sending hugs a blessings during this time.
I remember whenever I walked by Daryl when he was working remotely from the dinning area, he would always remember details of my life and ask how my children (by name) were doing among other things. Truly a good and caring, charismatic and animated, down to earth guy. Whenever I think about Daryl I can't help but smile, inside and out. He will be missed….
I had the pleasure of working with Daryl for many years. We had many business challenges along the way but I always looked forward to our weekly chats….sometimes we even talked about work! He was indeed patient professional and proficient in his work but more importantly proud of his boys and family. I miss his energy, voice, useful quotes / parables and humor.
Please accept my deepest condolences. It came as a real shock to me when this news reached me. Daryl was the best colleague and boss a person can ask for and an inspiring member of the CBRE team.
Daryl was like an energy station of our team. With his presence, he would light us all up with positivity. My prayers and thoughts will always be there with you and your family in these challenging times.
My deepest condolences to Daryl's family. I only had the pleasure of working with Daryl for the last 5 months, but he was always so friendly, kind, and always had a joke or made me smile. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.

I was saddened to hear the news! I hope and pray to give his family the strength during this time of loss. Remember that those who love us never go away. I hope you know that during this dark time, Daryl will always be with his family in spirit.
I had the pleasure of meeting Daryl twice during company events. Needless to say, he was a ball of energy. Very polite, caring, and funny. He had the best personality that would light up any room. I'm thankful for the time I spent with him, and I know he will be missed by many. I send my deepest condolences to you and your family.
I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Daryl for the past 10 or so years, and am so sad to hear of his passing. He was a such a great guy to work with, his larger than life personality lit up any room he was in and when he wasn't resting his eyes in staff meetings, he was always good for a quick joke or funny story. He will be missed by all who knew him. My thoughts are with his wife and children.
I worked with Daryl for nearly 10 years he was a great guy, he will be missed. Â We rarely spoke about work it was always about guitars, music, bands and venues and the shows we had seen in our lives. I miss his wit and his lightning fast comebacks.
So sorry for your loss.
Daryl was a very caring person and wanted to know how each of us were doing and what you had done over the weekend or during a recent vacation. He always took the time to invest in relationships with others as well as me. Daryl spoke about his wife and sons frequently, what they were up to and was very proud of them and loved them deeply. Meeting times at CBRE were great. Not only did we discuss business but we were obliged to receive the latest joke(good or bad) and his accompanying infectious laughter. Daryl was a kind, gentle person who I admired deeply. I greatly appreciated his guidance and counsel. I will miss him. Blessings and prayers to Daryl's wife and sons. Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful person who was an example for us all.
Daryl was everyday at work with a smile and always ready to help us. He went above and beyond. I can’t express how thankful I am to have work and known him.
He will be truly missedÂ

Daryl's son Alexander was one of my closest friends at university, and he remains a good friend of mine today. In my brief interactions with Daryl when Alexander was on Skype with his family or during our graduation, Daryl impressed me as a dedicated family man. I appreciated that he, along with his family, sent a video wishing my father a happy 60th birthday. I am grateful to have known him, if only briefly, and I will keep Daryl and his family in my thoughts.
Daryl is very much missed by all of us at the Gainesville site. It's still very strange to not see him in the morning as I arrive at work. Daryl and I often talked about our house search since we both recently relocated here. It was very apparent that Daryl loved life, spoke about his family often and how proud he was of his 2 boys. Sending prayers to all of you.
As one of Alexander’s friends from college, I only had the pleasure of meeting his father Daryl a handful of times. From my interactions with Mr. Singleton, he seemed like a great man with a good sense of humor who loved his family very much. My heart breaks for his wonderful family, and they will continue to be in my family’s thoughts and prayers.
