He was a U.S. Armey veteran having served 21 years in the US Army Intelligence as well as two tours in Vietnam.  He was awarded 2 Bronze Stars and 2 Silver Stars among other metals of accommodation.  He was the most positive and optimistic person you could ever meet.  His love of people, Friends and Family were obvious to all who met him.  He was a hugger and had the gift of Gab.  I'm sure you know what I mean if you had ever met him.  He dedicated many years and finances    to helping others all around the world through various charities.  He and Edna worked together on many projects for feeding and housing the hungry.  Darwin and his wife Edna gave of their time and finances to make a difference in this world, and it showed. Be happy for him.  He is now free from the worldly bounds.  In addition to his parents and wife he was preceded in death by a daughter Kerri Lynn McAffee.
