Summary
Daryl John Grove passed away last night. He was surrounded by friends and with Shannon, his wonderful wife, and Julie, his equally wonderful mother, by his side.
I’ll post more information about services and how to pay respects once his family has some time. For now, if you want to keep writing letters, either to him or his family, you can send them to our office address for delivery: 530 East Main Street, Suite 912, Richmond, VA, 23219.
Daryl loved this soccer community of ours, and it has been comforting to see how much it loved him back. He will be so very missed, but is now at peace.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. Once again, no music means bad news. I'm recording this morning to let you all know that Daryl Grove passed away last night. He was with Shannon, his wife, and Julie, his mother, with more loving friends waiting outside on the porch, just in case he was able to see them. |
| 0:15.9 | I can only speak for myself right now in saying that the outpouring of support and love and prayer and positivity |
| 0:21.9 | has been one of the most humbling reminders of the goodness of humanity that I've ever experienced. |
| 0:26.2 | And given the age we live in, that is no small matter. |
| 0:29.9 | I've read as many thoughtful tweets, emails, texts, everything else that I've been able |
| 0:34.1 | to, and knowing how much Darrell meant to so many people, has made an absolutely |
| 0:38.0 | tragic situation that much more manageable. It isn't fair that Darrell is gone, and it still doesn't |
| 0:44.1 | feel real, but I like to believe, or maybe just hope, that being comfortable in the knowledge that |
| 0:49.1 | you are loved and supported in your final moments is at least a small mercy. I'll do my best to update you all more |
| 0:55.3 | about future memorial services or ideal ways in which you can pay respects once this family has time to |
| 1:00.0 | think. I hope to respond to everyone who's gotten in touch with the show when I can. I will do my |
| 1:05.0 | best. There's a lot going on. There will be time for more words later on. I'd like to say two things. |
| 1:12.7 | So many of the messages I've read about Daryl have rightly talked about his compassion, his friendliness, his strength, his empathy. |
| 1:19.1 | I could keep listing and not stop for a very long time. |
| 1:21.9 | But when we lose loved ones, I think we naturally sort of elevate them. |
| 1:25.6 | And Daryl wasn't a saint, though, dealing with me |
| 1:28.1 | sometimes in very late night recording sessions when I was kind of hungry, he had the patience of one. |
| 1:32.6 | But it does feel like he was a saint because he worked so hard to be a positive person. |
| 1:37.3 | He was a man who woke up every day with, from my perspective, the absolute goal of making life |
| 1:42.3 | better for those around him. And that level of effort isn't easy. |
| 1:45.5 | It takes a belief in the goodness of the world and one's ability to help out to believe that even |
| 1:49.7 | the smallest gesture or kind word can make a difference. Hearing so many of your stories about |
