Darin Chad Williams

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend Darin Chad Williams, 35, of Pocatello, Idaho. On May 31st, a day after his 35th birthday, he tragically suffered life ending injuries while helping a friend.

Darin was born 5/30/1987 in Rupert, Idaho to Morgan and Sharon Williams. He graduated from Kuna High School in 2005 and went on to graduate from Idaho State University as an electrician. Subsequently he worked 13 years for Lamb Weston and Dean Fluor for 1 year and made many friends in the process. Darin met the love of his life, Jessica, while they were in high school. Both were athletes on the Idaho State University track team and were inseparable. They were married in 2008 and have 3 children; Sophia (10), Isaiah (8), and Oliver (5) who were his greatest joy. He could be heard loudly cheering them on during their ball games, he was their biggest fan.

For the past 13 summers Darin played softball, something he really loved doing. He was a big fan of Boise State football. When watching games at home and after a Boise State touchdown he would run through the house cheering and giving high fives to everyone. He also loved playing video games with the kids and with anyone who dared to challenge him. Darin was always cheerful and fun, quoting movies and telling jokes. He was a big kid at heart, making him a favorite with his nieces and nephews. He enjoyed spending time with his brothers on backpacking trips keeping them laughing as he attempted to catch something while fly fishing. But most importantly, he was frequently found helping family and friends, always giving of his time and many talents. Because he was so kind to everyone, he had many friends and touched many lives. He was a true friend and was loved by many. He will be greatly missed; we are all richer for having him a part our lives.

Darin is survived by his wife and three children; parents Morgan and Sharon Williams of Kuna, ID; seven siblings, Adrian (Julie) Williams Huntsville, UT; Jonathan (Kimberli) Williams Blackfoot, ID; Loralee (Shawn) Patterson Gooding, ID; Jason (Jan) Williams Fruitland, ID; Celena (Josh) Hughey Meridian, ID; Clarese Pyne Kuna, ID; and Adam (Heather) Williams Kuna, ID.
