Founders
Daryl W. Sutton
Daryl is the boy in the memoir.
Imagine being a child, dropped off at your grandparents' house, watching your dad's taillights disappear down the driveway. Imagine being too young to fully understand, and old enough to know you were left behind — for the third time, and this time, for good. Imagine carrying that moment — that whispered lie from Satan, you are forgotten — into every season of your life that follows.
This is not imagination. This is Daryl's story. And yet — by the grace of God — it is not the whole story.
Everyone left. Jesus stayed.
Family who refused to walk away. Grandparents — MawMaw and PawPaw — whose love was shelter and security when the world had taken his from him. And a man named Cowboy Jim, who saw a lonely boy and taught him how to become a man. They were Guardian Angels — ordinary people who answered God's call to step into a child's life when no one else would.
He and his wife Sarah founded NLF together, out of a shared calling. Daryl serves as President & Chair of the Board.
To God be the glory.
Sarah Sutton
Sarah is the heart that holds this ministry together.
Every founder needs an accountability partner — someone who will tell them the truth when no one else will. Every man with a calling needs a prayer warrior — someone who covers him with prayer. Every leader who carries a heavy vision needs a soulmate — someone whose presence makes the carrying possible. For Daryl, that someone is Sarah. She is all three.
She is, by every measure that matters, generous and kind. Generous with her time, her resources, her listening ear, her prayers. Kind in a way that disarms strangers and steadies the people closest to her. The kind of woman who notices the child no one else is noticing. The kind of woman whose home has always had room at the table for one more.
Daryl tells his story. Sarah lives it. Daryl carries the call. Sarah holds him up. They founded No Longer Forgotten together — husband and wife, one heart, one calling, one Lord.
To God be the glory.
Independent Directors
Ryan Wyatt
Ryan serves on the No Longer Forgotten Board of Directors as the Spiritual Advisor. As Senior Pastor of Church 213, he brings to NLF the spiritual guidance that keeps this ministry grounded in the Scriptures. His pastoral wisdom, biblical depth, and shepherd's heart help ensure that every decision NLF makes — from camp programming to financial stewardship to the care of vulnerable children and their caregivers — is shaped by Christ and rooted in God's Word.
"PR" has been serving the Faith Family of Church 213 since 2017. Passionate about watching God's Word powerfully offer all people a life with purpose, he's a relatable expositor of the Scriptures who loves the church and serves God's people. With undergraduate degrees from Truett-McConnell University and the University of Georgia, as well as graduate degrees from Luther Rice College and Seminary, he's been in full-time pastoral ministry for 18 years.
When not in the pulpit, you'll find him coaching youth sports and looking for the next hole-in-the-wall chili dog spot. A popular motto is, "It's not a sin to have sauce on your chin."
To God be the glory.
NLF is grateful for his service.
Brad Young
Brad serves on the No Longer Forgotten Board of Directors as the Technology & Digital Media Advisor. A brother in Christ who lives out his faith through strong moral and ethical commitments, Brad brings to the board both deep technical expertise and a genuine heart for the children and caregivers NLF exists to serve.
A graduate of Murray State University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics, Brad has built a thirty-year career as a Distinguished Software Engineer and Senior Technical Leader. His work has shaped some of the most demanding software systems in his field, and his judgment is trusted by engineers and executives alike.
Outside of his professional life, Brad is a licensed pilot — a quiet reminder that some callings are best pursued from a higher altitude.
To God be the glory.
