It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Darin J. Burwell, who left us on January 18, 2026, at the age of 40. Born on July 17, 1985, in Union City, PA, Darin was a lifelong resident of the area, where he graduated from Fort LeBouef High School in 2003.

Darin worked hard as a supervisor at Shearer’s Snack Foods, where his dedication and leadership made a lasting impact on his colleagues. Those who knew him best will remember him as an avid fan of Sci-Fi films, a passionate reader, and a true animal lover.

He is survived by his beloved companion, Julia Hubbell of Union City; his mother, Donna L. Bayhurst of Mill Village; his son, Allen Proper of Union City; and his sister, Dana Burwell and her companion, Jeremy Welsch of Waterford. Darin was also the proud brother of Daniel J.

He leaves behind several nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles who will miss him dearly.

Darin was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Burwell, I; his stepfather, David Graham; and his beloved grandparents, Bert and Martha Proper, and Mervin and Shirley Burwell.

A celebration of Darin’s life will be announced at a later date, and we invite all who knew him to join us in reflecting on his warm spirit and joyous moments. He will be laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery in Union City.

  13. Darin was a very crucial part in my early 20’s and very grateful for everything I learned from him. He had the best sense of humor and look on life and I hope everyone that knew him got to experience that side of him. He will be dearly missed.

  15. Daren you are the best person to be around and was always a pleasure to be around you are going to be missed by everyone who knew you. Rest in peace BROTHER we all know you deserve it. See you on the other side.

  16. It’s been such a long time, but I never forgot your kindness and genuine heart. You always lent a helping hand when you could. I remember you coming to the rescue with turbo heaters when I experienced my first frozen pipe issue, and here today I happen to have the same issue. There’s no coincidences in life. But, you were always an supportive ear when I was going through some rough times way back in the day. I’ve said a prayer for you, hoping up in heaven you are flying and pain free. You always deserved much more. The kindest hearts go through so much. And I’m truly saddened to hear of your passing. May you rest in eternal peace.

  17. I haven’t talked to you since high school other then running into a few times here and there. That makes me incredibly sad. We were so close in high school always writing notes back and forth asking about girl advice and vice versa. You were one of my favorite parts of theatre class. You are such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and I’m sad you were taken so soon. Rest easy my old friend🩵

  18. Prayers for all that knew him .. U were one of the best supervisors at shearers no matter what hand u were dealt that day… u could always make us laugh. And we always got threw it…Rip until we meet again.

  19. I’m gonna miss you, Bud . I’m glad you were apart of my circle of friends. Gonna miss all the dumb stuff we would do and just talk about good times you will always be loved and missed.
