Darren was born on August 24, 1968, to Sheldon Dean and Deanna Jackson Anderson, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, joining his sister Deidre Marie Anderson Aramanda ( Mrs. Larry B.). Darren married Dana Lane Beck on August 28, 1998 in Las Vegas, NV.  Darren's journey with us included residing in many areas of our country, but if asked where he would call home, he would say; "Colorado, where I enjoyed boating, fishing, and starting the skill of bow & arrow hunting."  Darren was taught the "exact" talent of "How to catch a fish"  by his Grandpa Jackson. Darren truly loved to share this trick with Ivory and Savanah during their many weekends of boating with his family and friends.
