Darin was an avid sports fan. His love for sports began as a child cheering on Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins. His passion expanded to all sports, especially hockey where he would travel the country to watch the Nashville Predators, to Rapid City to watch the Rush, he even held season tickets to the Sioux Falls Stampede.
Darin would always be found with a smile on his face. He loved spending time outside on a golf course challenging his family and friends to a game or at a tailgate party for any South Dakota State game where he held season tickets. His smile was especially bright whenever he spent time with his nieces and nephews. Uncle Darin could always be counted on to bring the fun and laughter. He will be dearly missed.
Those grateful to have shared his life and left to cherish his memory are his parents, Richard (Nancy) Bornitz of Carthage; siblings, Jayson (Alyssa) Holter of Brandon, Christina (Jeff) Marshall of Piedmont, Travis (Michele) Bornitz of Carthage, and Kimberly Sherman of Carthage; his beloved nieces and nephews, Bayleigh and Quynn Holter, Emily, Alaina, Abbilynn, and Audrey Marshall, Jonathan and Royce Bornitz, Raygan and Skylar Sherman, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He joins in heaven his grandparents, Emil and Joyce Zobel, and Lyle and Caroline Bornitz.
