Darin Jensen Findley

Came across Darin's memorial today at the summit and wondered what could have taken such a young life. But to die on a mountaintop doing what you love! My heart goes out to the family with love.

This weekend was the first time I have been back to ragged mountain's summit since the tragic day I found young Darin. I have often thought of him and wish to express my deepest and sincerest condolences for your loss. I was touched by the memorial at the site and for the first time found some comfort in seeing Darin as the person he was. It is profoundly obvious what a wonderful and down to earth person he was. God Bless

Darin, it's tante Bita and I miss you so much. I remember around this time of year you couldn't wait for the snow to come so you could go climbing. See you in Heaven.

I never knew Darin but, I went hiking the other day and came across his memorial at the top of the rock. I was blown away and had to find out more about him. He seems like an amazing person.
My thoughts are with you!
"You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now." --Joan Baez

Just remember he'll always be with you!

Lisa-Brit and Family~
I've had this page bookmarked since you first sent it out. I know how much you are still hurting and I'm sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
With love,
Bob, Michele, Dalton and Carly

Darin, you were my creative partner growing up! I remember all of those game contraptions we made in Norway--we spent hours of fun together working on them. I don't know if you ever knew the extent to which God used you in the lives of everyone you met, and now God is continuing to use your testimony in the lives of those you left behind. I wish I could have spent more time with you the last 4 years while we were in Indiana, but I'll always be grateful that we were able to catch up this...

I will always remember the many trips to norway playing monopoly and Darin telling me that by me giving him Boardwalk and him giving me Mediterranian Ave, it was the best trade. We had many great times playing with one another when all the girls watched thier soaps and it wasn't cool to hang out with an 8 year old. Band-aide Bianca was the best commerical idea Darin came up with for me to do. I love you and I will always be thinking of you. Sar-bear

Just last night I was telling one of my students about our days of skiing in junior high and high school. You taught me, with much patience and love, how to ski. Every time I take to the slopes I remember you.

I remember the days of reading God's word together every Sunday night and learning about the eternity Jesus has prepared for us. "In my father's house there are many rooms...I am going there to prepare a place for you,"(John 14:2).

You beat me there brother, but...

Dear Helga and David,
No words can adequately express the sorrow and grief that we all feel at the loss of such a fine young man, Darin. He was such a warm, nice person, the kind of son that all parents hope for. He will be remembererd in our thoughts and prayers.
