Darrin Scott Holmes
August 3, 1960 - March 17, 2025
With his loving family by his side, Darrin Scott Holmes passed away on March 17, 2025, at the age of 64.
Darrin was predeceased by his son, Robert Allen Holmes; his father, Roderick Smith; his stepfather, Brian Holmes; and his twin brother, Darrell Holmes. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by his daughters Lisa (Danny), Robyn (Ryan), and Jodi (Dean), along with his beloved grandchildren: Jasmine, Brayden, Brooke, Belle, Vedder, Hope, Ava, and Emily.
He also leaves behind his mother, Eileen; his sisters, Debra (Rick) and Darlene (Steve); and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Darrin met and married Peanut (Arlene) with whom he shared 37 wonderful years and three beautiful daughters. He spent his early career in construction and carpentry before transitioning to a long and dedicated 25-year career in shipping and receiving at VAW Systems.
Darrin had a passion for (ice) fishing and a deep love for NASCAR, amassing an impressive collection of memorabilia over the years. Known for his lively spirit and infectious energy, he was the life of the party and a loyal friend to many. Always willing to lend a hand, Darrin was an active member of his community, helping wherever he could.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Dawe and his incredible team at HSC Cancer Care, as well as the compassionate nurses at the Women’s Pavilion—especially Nicole—for their exceptional care and support.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 19th, at The Rockwood 303 A.N.A.F, 341 Wilton Street at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Darrin’s honour to CancerCare Manitoba.
