It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of our Executive Vice President, Darrell William’s, following a prolonged illness. Darrell was an invaluable member of our leadership team, whose vision, dedication, and kindness had a profound impact on all of us.
Throughout his time with the company, Darrell consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, not only advancing our business goals but also inspiring each one of us with his unwavering commitment to our shared mission. His passion for excellence and the care he showed for both the success of the company and the well-being of our employees will be deeply missed.
We understand that this news may come as a shock and bring feelings of sorrow. Please know that grief is a shared experience, and we encourage you to lean on one another and the support systems available. If you feel the need for assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to HR or our employee assistance program.
We will honor Darrell’s memory and legacy through the continued work and values that he instilled in our company. Arrangements for a memorial service and how we can collectively pay our respects will be shared shortly.
During this difficult time, we remain a family, united in respect and support for one another. Please keep Darrell’s family and loved ones in your thoughts.
