Reflections of the Life of Daryl Lamont Miller Daryl Lamont Miller departed this life on Friday, August 14, 2015. He was born on August 15, 1979 to Rhonda Miller Levister and Jack Rankins, Jr. Daryl was a lifelong resident of Alexandria, VA where he attended Alexandria City Schools and graduated from T.C. Williams High School in 1997. He attended Virginia State University for only a year and decided that college life was not for him. Daryl went on to fulfill his dreams of working in Washington, DC. He was an accounting clerk at the University of American Women. He held several positions as a payroll and accounting clerk before landing his last job with Serco, Inc. He was employed by Serco, Inc. until his health began to decline. He always stated he wanted to retire by the age of 40. He would often joke “be careful what you ask for.” Daryl had a way of touching each and everyone around him. He had a unique and special relationship with Dr. Irmindra Rana who was his long time physician and very special friend. It is because of Dr. Rana’s caring heart and his love for Daryl that kept Daryl with us long after we were given the prognosis of just a few months to live. That was over three years ago.
