Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on December 24, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Darrius Barnes! From your early days with the Cary RailHawks U23's to becoming a steadfast defender for the New England Revolution since 2009, you've always known how to keep attackers guessing. Your defensive skills are so timeless that forwards still wake up in cold sweats remembering their failed attempts at getting past you.

Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy and laughter as those unforgettable moments when opponents realized they'd underestimated your speed and agility. Keep defending birthdays like they're goal lines—strongly, gracefully, and without letting age score any points against you. Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
