Life story

To have known him, was to love him, there was no one else like our Dariusz Markowski. A contagious smile that would light up any room he walked in, and a laugh you would never forget hearing. He loved life & the simple things that came with it, like a fresh cup of coffee, a pack of Marlboro red cigarettes, and a peaceful fishing trip.

He was a patient soul, that took nothing for granted, and loved his family unconditionally. His family was his everything & he was his children & grandchildren’s biggest supporter.

A husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, neighbor & so much more.

No time would have been enough, we wish we had forever. Always in our hearts.

Kochamy cię na zawsze Tatuś.

Dear Tatus

We miss you so much. I am sorry the miracle we prayed for didn't come. You were supposed to be here growing old and gray. :( I hope heaven is everything they say it is. That you are healthy again and get to do whatever you like...dance, sing, smoke your cigarettes, and drink your coffee. I hope you are up there telling jokes and making everyone laugh. We miss you so much down here. Everything reminds me of you. Your bed. Your chair. Your coffee pot. I miss the mornings you would open the door for me and the kids in the morning. I miss your presence. I miss your love. I miss your voice and your laugh. I MISS YOU. I LOVE YOU. I hope you are near even when I can't see you. Kocham cie Anitka
