Darwin was a very talented artist; he was mentored by Jerry Whitehead and Denis Bruce. Darwin also mentored many young and upcoming artists. Darwin was a passionate horse owner and trainer. Darwin liked to tease and mean on many of his cousins. He was loving, caring and most of all comical. He loved his whole family, especially his uncles, aunties and cousins. I’m sure each and everyone has a story of him. Darwin liked to give nicknames to his special friends, and they also had their own nicknames for him. He was one of the original Regulators. Darwin’s work is all over Canada and the USA. He illustrated the book written by Vera Tourangeau, “Empty Arms.” He had such an impact on many family and friends. He left his mark every where with his beautiful artwork.
