Jayson Darula
03/12/2021
Jayson Darula passed away peacefully at home on Friday, March 12, 2021 at the age of 65, in the presence of his nurturing and devoted wife and children. He fought valiantly against cancer in his latter three years, but it never beat his love of life and great sense of humor. He will not only be remembered for his wit and charm, but also for his generosity and thoughtfulness towards others.
He was truly a dedicated family man who fostered a love of learning which lives on in his three beloved children Jordon, Grace, and August. He graduated from Marquette University, majoring in philosophy and history. He served his community in Mont Vernon, NH as a school board member and lacrosse and baseball coach.
He loved to read, and could often be found with either a historical non-fiction book, or a well worn copy of the New York Times at his side as he sipped coffee or slept on the patio. He was a regular attendee at Souhegan Woods Golf Course and Hampshire Hills Athletic Club, where he was deeply embedded in both communities. He loved his work and the friends that he made as a lumber broker of 40 years. His quips were memorable, full of grace, and always honest.
Jayson leaves behind his own beautiful soul and memories to his loving wife, Kelly, and his three children. He was preceded in death by his parents, Florence and Paul Darula, and his older brother, Wayne Darula of Greenwich, CT, where Jayson was born and raised. He is survived by his sister Isabelle Darula and her husband Dr. Peter Cohen of Glenwood Springs, CO; his brother Peter and his wife Adriana Darula, of Lake City, MN, and their two children, Danika and Skyler.
A Memorial Golf Tournament in Jayson's memory will be held on Friday, September 24, 2021 at Souhegan Woods Golf Club, 65 Thorntons Ferry Rd 2, Amherst, NH. For more information please go to www.MVLCF.org (News & Events page).

I knew Jason at Marquette. He was a character. Chiseled good looks with that long blonde hair and a unique style. Was way ahead of his time when he wore shorts when everyone else was wearing jeans. We used to play different sports, but best of all was golf at a municipal course in Milwaukee with old rented clubs. Great memories. RIP Jason. You made Marquette a better place single handedly.

Sorry to hear of Jayson"s passing. He was always a delight to run into and I was proud of him when he went off to Marquette University. The basketball team won the NCAA National Championship when he was there in 1977. I ended up playing a pickup game against most of that team a few months later in New York. I lwanted to tell Jayson about that but I moved out of Greenwich soon after and unfortunately never saw him again. He was a good young man and very intelligent. It was always nice to be in his presence. My sincere condolences. May God grant his family and friends the strength to persevere after their loss of this special man.
