My deepest thoughts go out to you all. Even though Darin and i havent been in touch in many years i was sad to hear of him passing.I remeber the fun we used to have playing tag and scaring each other . He used to come up with things for us to do all the time . We used to all get together boys against girls and he'd would say well you girls have to be tough. My thoughts are with you all.

My deepest sympathy to the Maher family, Kris & Matthew. Darin lived "out loud" - you always knew when he was around. His legacy includes an incredible son, Matthew, who shares his best talents. Be well, and may you hold dear your precious memories.

Darin and I had a few classes together in NFA. His personality made even 11th Grade Shakespeare seem interesting. He was a unique person with a incomparable way of treating others.
