Daron worked many years at HAI and CareStar, but later fell in love with landscaping. He eventually started his own landscaping company, Total Lawn Care. He worked diligently, day and night for many years, providing excellent service. Alongside of him was his son Aakif, together they became a dynamic duo.

Daron was self-less, he would give his last to family and friends. He always had a joke, comment, or opinion and he would always speak his mind, whether it was appropriate or not. He wasn't a traditional man; he made his own rules and definitely danced to his own beat. He enjoyed watching football, the Oakland Raiders to be exact. He was a committed father.
