Darin married his "lovely bride" Sandi on May 11, 1985 in Springfield, MO and just celebrated 36 years of marriage.  He worked for the Frisco Railroad early in their marriage and later at Associated Wholesale Grocers in Springfield, Mo.   He moved his family to Austin, TX in 1999 and went to work at Texas Health Distributors. He then transitioned his career into the financial field and worked at The 401k Company which later was acquired by Charles Schwab.

Remembering Darin's amazing sense of humor brings smiles to our faces now as we face a future without him.  Hearing stories of Darin's kind and helpful nature as told by co-workers, neighbors, friends and even people he casually encountered brings comfort to us now knowing he was a friend to so many.  Darin was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and son.  He was the heart of our family, always offering encouragement and advice with a gentle touch.  Darin lifted others up just as those he left behind have lifted his family up during this difficult time.  Most importantly, Darin was a man of strong faith gifted with a Godly wife that he cherished.  Darin's legacy is his beautiful family and the love he showed everyone he knew.
