Darrin Desilets passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on October 25, 2024, at the age of 51.

Darrin was the soulmate and loving partner to Julia, a devoted father to Jilian, and cherished by Olivia and Lauren. Beloved son of Bob Desilets and the late Patti Desilets, he was a cherished brother and best friend to Donny Desilets (Beth) and a dear brother-in-law to Dan and Tina Horton, Damian and Sylvia Iamarino, Anthony and Maria Iamarino, and Connie and Pat Dion. Darrin was an adored uncle to Mason, Averi, Alycia, Daniel, Nicolas, Steven, Lucas, Natalie, Emily, Christina, Jeremy, and their partners, and a great-uncle to Nolan, Maddyn, Cooper, Kyra, and Luke. He will also be deeply missed by his fur babies, Maggie and Louise.

Known for his kind and genuine spirit, Darrin enjoyed golf and time spent with family and friends. He was an avid Steelers fan and often found joy in working on projects with his dad. Darrin worked at Niagara Falls Casino for over 20 years, earning the love and respect of his coworkers. A dedicated father, he was actively involved in his daughter’s ringette games as a coach. Self-described as a “gourmet chef” and an artist, Darrin lived life to the fullest and brought joy to those around him.

A celebration of Darrin’s life will be held at a later date. In his memory, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family. He will forever be missed and never forgotten.
