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.

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🩵
