Daryl E. VanDeMark, 53 years old Cottekill New York formerly of Kingston New York February 8, 2026. It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of Daryl VanDeMark from his battle with diabetes. Daryl loved cars. He knew everything in detail about the car he was presently driving. Daryl learned about cars because our dad owned a used car lot.

Daryl was one of five siblings : Donny VanDeMark (Jay Archambeault) Debbie Avery, (Mitchell) Danny VanDeMark , Harry VanDeMark, Denise Dachenhausen (Gene). Daryl is also survived by many aunts, uncles , cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Daryl was known for his kind heart. He always made sure you got a Christmas card, birthday card, etc. never missed an occasion.

Daryl leaves behind a son Keith Temple and a daughter April Temple Who he always spoke so fondly of. He also leaves behind his longtime friend of over 20 years John Kindberg and their dog PJ.

Daryl is predeceased by his parents, Harry Sr. and Eva VanDeMark, a brother David VanDeMark, a grandmother, Elizabeth VanDeMark and Emily Vanetten And lastly, the mother of his son, Tammy Waterman.

Memorial services are at the convenience of the family and we'll have a celebration of life at a later date.

Lastly, a special thank you to any staff at Kingston Hospital who took care of Daryl during his complications of his illness. Thank you very much, our family will be forever grateful.
