Our dearest Darcy passed away peacefully on March 19, 2024 at 94 years old. A beloved husband, father, brother and uncle. Darcy was an accountant who was highly organized and enjoyed completing word search puzzles and mathematical equations. He was a man of few words who lived a full life, loved sports and singing. He left behind a legacy of love and kindness.

Darcy is survived by his wife Jean after 64 years of marriage and 3 daughters, Carolyn (Brian), Diane, and Nancy (Jerome). Darcy will be greatly missed by all of his extended family and friends in Canada and Barbados, especially his niece Barbara and nephew Charlie. He will be welcomed into heaven by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and rest in the Fathers’ bosom. The family appreciates all of your prayers, comforting words and thoughtfulness during this time.

We would like to give special thanks to everyone who has helped our family along the way and especially to Lorna, his dedicated PSW for the past 10 years and to the nursing home, Faith Manor Holland Christian Homes over the past few months. In honour of Darcy, we have included his favourite hymn:-

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Praising my Savior all the day long.
