was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and died in Amsterdam, Holland with his mother, Evelyn Mills Lafayette, sister, Giselle Lafayette, and partner, Herman Janzon at his bedside. He was a strong, proud, handsome, loving man. A son strongly loved by his mother and revered by his brother and sisters, Darryl was a world traveler and spoke five languages. He was vice-president of an international bank, where he was a mentor and inspired others. He was gay and was Mr. Leather Holland 1997. He was a model, a motivator, and a leader. But he died too soon. We watched him die of AIDS. Who wants you to live? Please practice safe sex. We love you always, Darryl.
