"To those lucky enough to have met Darius for more than a few minutes, they were deeply moved by his infectious laugh and barely containable zest for life.
"He was always armed with a smile, a booming voice, and a genuinely warm embrace that few could resist – nor would they want to!!! He was an incredible talent, a singer whose voice touched your soul and an actor with great presence.
"But, most importantly, he had the heart of a lion. It was bigger and brighter than the sun and an energy so contagious he could light up a room in seconds."
Comedian Omid Djalili revealed that Darius' funeral ceremony was held in Bearsden, Glasgow.
The cause of Darius' death remains unknown, but local police have claimed there were "no signs of intent or suspicious circumstances".
