As a young man, Darrin’s father taught him how to hunt, fish, and trap, which he proudly passed on to his daughters. He loved spending time outdoors, back roading in his side-by-side and watching for deer. Time spent with his daughter’s deer and turkey hunting brought him the greatest joy. Darrin loved gathering with family and friends for BBQ’s and a good old game of cornhole and horseshoe pitching, which he usually won.
