He passed away suddenly on May 8, 2026 while away doing what he loved— spending the pickerel season opener with friends. Beloved husband and best friend of Nancy Watts for 29 years. Loving father of Gregory Watts (Laurel). Cherished grandfather, “Papa D,” of Brielle and Scottie. Dear son of Alex and Phyllis Watts, and brother of Dean (Anita) and Cory (Marie) Watts. Much-loved uncle of Lisa (Dan), Logan (Kim), Courtney (Jay), Brandon, and Justin (Maryann), and very special great-uncle to Maddie and Rein, Nolan, Lukas, and Kinsley.
Darrin Todd Watts loved the outdoors and spent countless hours hunting and fishing with family and friends, creating many treasured memories at Crane Lake. He was also an avid sports fan with a lifelong love for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Darrin had an extensive network of close friends and colleagues, many of whom felt like family. He will be deeply missed by his coworkers at Noble and by the community of Pontypool. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
