Born in Petrolia, he spent his youngest years in India and Trinidad, returning to Petrolia where he grew up. He won the LCCVI track and field championship in 1943 and after he finished high school, he worked drilling oil in Trinidad, Alberta and Saskatchewan where he met Rita. Darwin retired from Imperial Oil as a pipe fitter after 23 years of service and decided to ride his bicycle across Canada at the age of 58. After that adventure, he returned to work at Ethyl for another 5 years. Darwin was the number 1 fan of Petrolia midget hockey, a dedicated patron of the Petrolia library and loved a good debate at Tim Hortons. He was immensely proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
