So sad of hear of Darin's passing. He always was so fun to work with at Citibank. He always would keep us laughing and his sense of humor would constantly keep us on our toes.

I was so sad to hear of Darin's passing. My thoughts go back to the KU Fiji house in the mid-80's. He, Jeff Brown, Jeff Bloskey, and my brother Jason had a GREAT class. Many fun and funny memories. Darin had a wit! Quiet, but when he spoke, you usually found yourself laughing! So sorry for his family, he will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Darin's passing. I will always remember the many years having him as my tennis doubles partner and playing against him and Bob in multiple father / son tournaments. He finally beat me in singles in an El dorado tourney. Those were such great times. I'll truly miss him.

April 23, 2013

My prayers are to the entire family. I am at a loss for words and shocked at hearing the news. I truly loved your son, brother, uncle and husband as he could always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh. We have shared many a laughs over the past 30 years and I will miss him dearly.
May God find you comfort and peace.

Lovingly,
