If you have somebody in your life that thinks its fun to cyberbully other people, maybe a celebrity athlete or a little girl or school or schoolmate, slap [them] in the back of the head. Make them become a better human being, because you never know what demons somebody faces and what they go through and what you might push them through.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4317641\" style=\"width: 819px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:125%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n Darrell Sheets in May 2023.<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">Courtesy Instagram \/ Darrell Sheets<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nezhoda remembered Darrell as a \u201cvery hard worker that cared more than anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had our moments, we had our run-ins but that\u2019s because we were both competitors \u2026 we\u2019re the biggest threats out there.
