Farquhar, Darren Eugene, 49, of Liverpool, Queens County, passed away suddenly, on Monday, November 2nd, 2015, at the South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater.

Born in Liverpool, he was the son of Maurice “Eugene” Farquhar and the late Geraldine (Smith) Farquhar.

Darren was most passionate about his daughter Mariah and was happiest when spending time with her. He was an outdoorsman and was fittingly employed by The Municipality of Lunenburg as a heavy equipment operator for the last 11 years. In his earlier years he was employed by The Department of Natural Resources and was also the owner / operator of his own logging business. Darren had a special spot in his heart for the family hunting camp although there was never much hunting done. He was a former member of the Liverpool Fire Department.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Mariah Farquhar (Jesse Oickle), of Wolfville; sister, Stephanie (Bernard) Amirault, of Brooklyn; brother, Jamie (Phaedra) Huskins, of Liverpool; nephews, Nicholas, Tanner, Thomas; friends, Helen Baker and her daughter Renee.

He was predeceased by a brother, Stephen.

The Family will receive friends from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m., on Thursday, November 5th, 2015, at Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 6th, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., from Trinity Anglican Church, Liverpool, followed by a reception. Reverend Judy Cross officiating.

    On Monday I received a phone call from my brother and received this shocking news. Darren and I since an early age were always together. We were always doing stuff from playing fireman on our bikes to smashing his fathers new fire place with hammers and many many more things, I left Liverpool in my younger years and I have always considered Darren my best friend of all times. I am having a hard time with this but my fond memories of us is what keeps me going. Eugene, Mariah and the rest of the family you have my deepest symphony and please cherish all the memories you have. When I go to work I know I have the best Angel looking over me and keeping me safe. God speed my friend, god speed,,,,,,,missing you..

    Brad.

    My sincere condolence to Darren’s family in this difficult time. I was Darren’s supervisor at the Solid Waste Site for the past 8 years and I can honestly say that he was one of the best employees I ever had. He was a genuine individual and always willing to help regardless of the job assigned. His work ethic, smile and sense of humor will be missed by all. We lost a good man and he will always be remembered.

    Dear Farquhar Family,

    Both Goretti and I taught Darren in Junior High School. He was a quiet, gentle, respectful young man who liked to look after others who needed help. He carried these characteristics into manhood. Years later, I had the privilege of teaching the sunshine of his life, Mariah. Darren showed us that when you really love someone, they will truly turn out the way you hoped. Rest in Peace, Darren.

    Sincerely,
    Duncan & Goretti MacIsaac

    I was saddened and shocked by the sudden death of my good friend Darren. I knew Darren from the 10 or so years of working with him at DNR. Darren was a great guy funny and always making you laugh with his comments. We all from DNR were like one big happy family. Some of the best times I remember were the weekends spent at one Dave Smiths cabin. Well Darren heaven has gotten one very good guy and I hope you are at peace. My condolences to all of Darrens family. He will be truly missed.
