There will NEVER be another Daryl Coley.The Lord blessed him in so many ways and he blessed us by what the Lord gave him and that was music. He could do anything with his voice when it came to singing. The Lord knew what he was doing when he gave us Daryl. The world is cruel and if you aren't prayed up & not reading your Bible and staying in the will of God the world will consume you. But I Thank God that Daryl stayed in the will of the Lord, the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you and Daryl knew that. Sunday came
for Daryl, and all of his trials and heartaches are all left behind. The Lord prepared Daryl. I believe he was ready to be with the Lord. No more pain or suffering he is singing in Glory and in the arms of Jesus. Daryl, your music will live on forever in our hearts you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Thank You for sharing with the world what God had given you. You have touched so many lives and You are WELL LOVED. RWG LOVE YOU!!

I am a Christian but, I don't listen to a lot of Gospel music. One morning, on my way to work, I was listen to a radio station and they played "When Sunday Comes" it move me so I got happy in the car. My prayers are with the family. God Bless.

Rev. Daryl Coley was an amazing vocal and ministry gift to the world. He was also an amazingly funny story teller. I had the blessed honor of meeting him in my college days and maintained contact and my relationship with him the decades since. I can still recall these Daryl-tales of the unusually funny happenings in church services. He could really embellish a story to the point that everyone is rolling on the floor. He loved to laugh. Daryl loved people and was loved back by so, so many people. He was also a great teacher of music, ministry and the gospel. He freely shared from his heart and made you feel like his greatest joy was talking with you. He has deposited much into the earth, and we would all do well to continue learning from his example and his music. I pray for his family, his children and friends. Although his presence will be missed, his voice and ministry continues through his body of works left in the earth realm.

I was saddened to hear of Darryl's transition. He's annointed voice,and presence will be missed. Didn't realize were the same age,he was around with James Cleveland. Loved him!

I will surely miss Daryl Coley. His voice and renditions of various songs was phenomenal. No one has ever sung like him. We had a chance to sing back up for him in Indianapolis, but the communications got misinterpreted and we missed the opportunity. I was sad because I had missed my opportunity to see my gospel idol. I will never forget your voice, and may you Rest in Peace.

A great man of God. You will be greatly missed. Praying for the family. I know we should be rejoicing, but I always fail to do it when someone leaves. Thanks for blessing so many people with your talents

Heaven is rejoicing the homecoming of this precious man of God. I will truly miss him, although we are blessed to have his music to get us through tough times. I have always been a fan and am thankful for his testimony of God's faithfulness. I loved all of his songs including "Nobody but Jesus," "He's Preparing Me," just to name a few. Rest in the arms of Jesus, Pastor Coley. I will see you in the morning when He comes"
