Crystal and family, I am so sorry to hear the passing of your brother. I would see him and his young family coming into the Superstore all the time. I can never remember a time where he did not have a smile on his face or a chuckle of a laugh. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, it was a sudden shock to us all of his demise. Please know that he is everyone`s hearts and now in God`s hands. Bless you all.
Peggy Airey
Darin will be sorely missed. I remember him as a student, a neighbor, and a friend. The world has lost a shining light. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family.
Norman Fraser
Darin worked blueberry fields in the back woods of Shelburne County for more than 12 years.
I was introduced to Darin by his father Sonny who had worked the farm for years before that. Darin, my father Vernon, and my brother Allan, all lived and worked from a woods camp year round, busily clearing the land and working the fields during that time.
Sonny was happy to see Darin working with us because he could work, hunt, fish, and spend more time in their mutually favorite environment… the back woods.
When Sonny was about to die the last thing he asked of me was “Would watch over Darin” and “Keep an eye on him” and “Protect him” from harm.
Sonny I hope you forgive me for failing you in this regard.
Darin i pray God will reunit you, your mother, and your father in heaven.
Darin may your soul rest in peace and may God bless the family you left behind.
Marsha Ringer and family
Amanda, Kelsey, Jonathan, Darian and family
We were saddened by the loss of such a young man that was full of life. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all as you grieve for Darin. Thinking of you.
Veronica Wilson (nee McLean)
I just heard of Darin’s passing and wanted to send my condolences to his family.
I have known Darin for 25+ years and he was always sweet with not a bad thing to say. He always had a smile to offer even when things seemed really bad.
After I left Prince Rupert, Darin and I lost contact but through the magic 😉 that is FB reconnected intermittently, and again, his happiness shown through during the few conversations we had.
No words can help with the loss you feel now, just know, you are in my prayers and he was loved by many people throughout his life.
With loving thoughts,
Veronica Wilson
Pam Stewart
Amanda and Family,
So sorry for your tragic loss
Vanessa Tanner
So sorry to hear about your loss. He was one of a kind and a very hard worker to support his family and to make sure they had everything that they needed. He will be well remembered and missed by a lot of family and friends. You always knew if darin was around because he had one special laugh. Try to keep strong I know it is hard at a time like this. Thinking of you Amanda and your 3 children and all of the other family and friends. If you need anything and I can help you I would be more than glad to do it. Take care. Rest in peace darin you will never be forgotten.
