Marion

Derrick Eugene Darling, age 45, from Marion Ohio, went home to the Lord, April 30, 2025. Derrick was born to Mark Darling and Kathy Jo (Champer) Williams January 21, 1980, in Marion Ohio. Derrick was preceded in death by his mother, Kathy Jo (Champer) Williams; brothers, Jeremy Darling and Brandon Darling; and very close like a brother, cousin, Jeff Thacker.

Derrick never knew a stranger; he knew how to light up a room when he entered. He had a way of always saying the right thing. Derrick loved and adored his children. He graduated from Marion Harding High School and went on to graduate from a Masters Barber School to become a licensed barber. He worked at 12th on 12th barber shop in Columbus, Ohio. He was a very genuine person, and he will be dearly missed by all that knew him.
