Darren Dahlberg Obituary

Darren Robert Dahlberg February 12, 1962 - April 19, 2009 Darren touched the lives of many people and a person with a bigger heart and soul would be hard to find. He was born in San Francisco, CA and graduated from Aragon High School in San Mateo. After high school, he worked in various jobs, including aircraft parts salesperson, and more recently as a sous chef at Menlo College. Darren loved camping and hunting, was a great grill master, a world traveler, avid fisherman (with "big" stories), a skier and a bungee cord jumper, but more importantly he was a great friend and loving person to all. Darren will be missed by all of the people who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. Darren is survived by his wife Janet; adoring children Samantha, Catherine and Hunter; his parents Ginger Dahlberg and Al (Veronica) Dahlberg; his siblings Cary (Matt) Sweeney, Jeff (Val) Dahlberg and Bobby Wilson; his loving nieces Allie and Ryan Sweeney and nephew Nic Dahlberg; dear friend Jane Anderson (Eric Ponteri) and sons Brice and Bixby; and his father-in-law Fred Dieter; sister-in-law Carolyn Dieter; brother-in-law Glenn (Joanna) Dieter and nieces Sophia and Mackenzie Dieter; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins. Friends and family are invited to a Requiem Mass on Sat., April 25th, 2009 at 1:00 pm at Christ Church Parish, 770 North El Camino Real, San Mateo, CA. Darren was a great friend to many firefighters in Redwood City and was always willing to help out people in need. In lieu of flowers for his service, the family would like people to consider donating to "Create-A-Smile Foundation" c/o Redwood City Firefighters Association, 755 Marshall St., Redwood City, CA 94061 or drop your donations by any local Redwood City Fire Station.

Dear Ginger,

It was sad news to hear from Loretta that one of the "Georgetown kids" has passed away. We remember Darren as a kindhearted person with a wonderful sense of humor and a happy, outgoing personality. Darren and Cary were both so wonderful to Steven and Amy and were my go-to babysitters and lifesavers. I wish you a glad heart knowing that Darren is at peace and in the care of his creator. God bless you all.

Sincerely,

Linda McCulley, Amy and Steven Bowser

My thoughts of Darren are of a courageous young man, battling for his life. What a wonderful laugh, infectious, proud of his family. I have good memories of conversations with him.

I had the great privilege of knowing Darren through several chapters of his life. There was a time when Darren was a regular fixture in my home. The energy, laughter and heart that he would bring to any situation were palpable. Our group of that time would boat, ski, fish and yes he did indeed Bungee Jump in New Zealand! To know Darren was to love him. He will live on for me in the many, many memories I will cherish always.

Darnito, you were our family. In memory of you as our family, I will smile when I remember our backgammon games "winner gets all" bets, the "row sham bow" bets, 'first one there gets the prize' challenges; the hilarious sneak-ins into the drive-in movies, just to name a few of all our camping trips and picnics we had, and mostly all the spectacular dinners we shared as family. Those were fun times. I will miss your energy. Love Silvia (Perez) Seyve

My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew Darren D. I met Darren twice during very hard times for him in Calistoga. Once in November and again in January. He loved his children so much and was really trying to find his place in life, find peace within himself. I loved his fresh starched shirts and the fact that he had a pedicure with very lively toenails. His smile was contageous, but the sadness was still in his eyes. I wish I could have said the right thing, done the right thing to end his pain but that was not to be. I am so sorry for your loss as are all who knew him in Calistoga. May he rest in peace and with his higher power.
