In addition to his father, Darren was preceded in death by his father-in-law, James Burch.

A livestock and grain farmer, Darren passionately cared for his vocation and more importantly, his family. He possessed a gift for breeding and raising show pigs with his family. He loved to attend the county fairs, state fair, and jackpot shows with his family and friends. He enjoyed Thursday evenings…eating wings, playing cards, and drinking Crown Royal with his friends and family. Darren was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns and loved to deer hunt, snowmobile, camp, travel with close friends, and most especially spend time with his family and friends.
