Darrin P. Means Of Karns City, PA, passed away with loving family members by his side on December 10, 2018. Darrin was born into this world on December 27, 1976 in Chaffee, Missouri. He was a fighter from the moment he took his first breath and a free spirit in life. He was tough as nails on the outside while being a soft-hearted loving soul on the inside. Darrin was the kind of person who truly loved to laugh and live life with a positive attitude even through some of the most difficult times. He had a great sense of humor, an infectious laugh and soulful eyes. He brought joy to those who loved him. He was a loving and kind soul who would be there for his family, friends and other loved ones through thick and thin. Darrin knew how to love deeply and unconditionally, and simply wanted to be loved deeply and unconditionally in return. Darrin was an extremely proud daddy and pawpaw who loved his children and granddaughter with all his heart. They were the center of his world and the most joyous parts of his life. Darrin departed this world and joined his father, Lanny Joe Means, and his eldest brother, Brian Keith Means in heaven. He is survived by Nichole Means (daughter) with Brandon Graham and Nevaeh (granddaughter); Katelyn Means (daughter); Hannah Means (daughter); DJ Means (son); Sharon Kay Means (mother); Ann Lingenfelter (sister) with Wendell Elms and Patrick Lingenfelter (nephew); Joe Means (brother) with Misty Means (sister-in-law), Peyton Martin (niece) and family, Tyler Brewer (nephew) and family, Garrett Means (nephew) and family, and Wyatt Means (nephew); DeeDee Butler (sister) with Travis Butler (brother-in-law), Dakota Butler (nephew), Sami Short (niece), and Brett Butler (nephew). He is also survived by his loving girlfriend, Patty Portis and her family along with a host of other loving family members (grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins) and all his friends. Additionally, Darrin worked with Keith and Kirby at Litzenberg Drilling in Karns City, PA. His employers and coworkers at Litzenberg Drilling were also his friends and like family to him.
