Darin was a resident of Turn Community and appreciated the love and care he received from the counselors and staff.  He cared about his family and enjoyed shopping for and bringing presents to those he loved, especially his great niece and nephews. He gave hugs to everyone and was “Mr. Social”, always inviting you to “go for a pop”.  He loved Karate and Tai Chi classes and was regularly found practicing his moves. One of his favorite places was the cabin where he spent time with family, fished, and went for frequent walks.  At home, he enjoyed carving rustic ducks out of wood.

Darin is survived by his siblings, Doug Thurgood, Flagstaff, AZ; Deonne (Lynn) Schrauth, Layton; Drew Thurgood, Syracuse; stepmother, Colleen Dahl Thurgood, Syracuse; his nieces and nephews and extended family.  Preceded in death by his parents and infant brother Dana.
