Darien Cato, also known as "D", was born to Deryl Lavon Cato & Shantell Adama-Cato on 09/19/01 in Jacksonville, Florida. As a young man, "D" attended Brunswick Job Corps. After Darien's dad died on 12/26/22, he decided it was time to spread his wings. Cato, as Bethany knew him, was determined to overcome the limitations of Autism, and prove he was a man capable of independence. Cato moved to Macon, Georgia with a friend and sustained himself working at Wendy's, Dollar Tree and on the Mercer University campus janitorial staff. Cato had aspirations to be a recording rap artist & was skilled at poem writing. Everyone who knew him saw that he was deep into fashion! Cato loved designing unique outfits to elevate his swag and create flashy, demure looks. He developed a brotherhood with Antwan "Twan" Clark, Zaccheaus "Zay" Brookings, and Phillip
