Nicholas Darrow Obituary

Nicholas Robert Darrow, 70, of Delta, Colorado, passed away on September 26, 2025, in his hometown. Born December 1, 1954 in Delta, he was the youngest child of Nicholas Edmund Darrow and Dorothy Jeane Foster. He received his bachelor's and JD from the University of Colorado and MBA from Pennsylvania State University.
He began his career working as a lawyer with his father on Dodge Street. A work trip to Denver introduced him to Cecilia Marie McGlinn, who he married six months later, in May of 1983. Nick built a long and successful career in risk management at Mellon Bank (subsequently Bank of New York Mellon) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2014, Nick and Cecilia moved to Long Island, New York, where they embraced their love of good food, built cherished friendships, and enjoyed the flavors of the city.
An avid golfer, Nick treasured time on the course and counted a hole-in-one at Pebble Beach among his proudest accomplishments. After retiring to Delta, he enjoyed time with old and new friends and remained active in the community through his service with the Rotary Club.
Nick is survived by his wife, Cecilia Darrow; his children Nicholas John (Jacqueline Anne) Darrow, and Lucia Marie Darrow; his granddaughter Willa Rose Darrow; his sisters Debra (Robert) LaBerge and Judy Wood. He will be remembered for his sharp wit, generous spirit, and deep love for his family and friends. A Catholic service will be held on November 14th at 10 a.m. at St Michael's in Delta.

Yesterday

Even in high school, Nick formed a humorous (but insightful) view of the dynamics of any situation and both immediately and freely shared his view with all those around. My condolences to Cecilia, son, daughter and his sisters.

I played a lot of golf with young Nick while he was still in high school. I immensely enjoyed that time and it looks like he had a grand life. RIP Nick.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Nick's passing. He was such an important part of my life when we were young and the loss feels incredibly heavy. We grew up together and the memories of our time as friends and neighbors will stay with me always. Nick's friendship meant so much to me and I will always cherish the moments we shared.
The world has lost a truly special person and he will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
With heartfelt sympathy,
James

Such a loss of a good man, I have fond memories of good times in classes with Nick at DHS. He had a great sense of humor, a quick mind and a drive to succeed. So sorry for his family and friends.
