I am so saddened to learn of Darren's passing. I am going to miss seeing him out socializing with Bev at Rock the River and other Saskatoon events. Darren was kind and always passionate about music. I see that heaven has gained another great musician. My condolences to Bev, and both their families and friends.

It is with sadness, sorrow, but a whole lot of love that I send my sympathy to Bev and Darren’s family. Bev, Darren and I shared the joy of music and friendship on many occasions, over many, many years! Often at The Bassment (old and new), and at times while cruising on The Prairie Lily:). Always, it was a joy to see them and to share in their happiness of life and love! I smile now to think that Darren and Bev’s Mom, Jean Spurgeon, are keeping time to some really great jazz music in heaven! Thanks for your friendship, Darren!

We were both deeply saddened when we heard Darren had passed. Even though we only know Darren and Bev for a short time, we could feel the genuine love they had for one another. When we got together for Rock The River Darren always made us smile as his own smile was so infectious. The world lost a great man, I will keep my memory of having last seen Darren back last May deep in my heart. Treasure all the great memories you had together Bev. Sending our sincere condolences to you and all the Kowaluk family.

My sincere condolences to the Kowaluk family and friends. I was saddened to hear of Darren's passing, good guy gone much too soon. There are good memories of Darren as a kid in Brevoort Park days. It was great to know he had a wonderful love in his life and lived life to the fullest.

Mrs. and Mr. Kowaluk and family,
I was saddened to hear of the family’s loss. Although I didn't personally know Darren, being a brother to Linda would have given an immediate amazing persona; and then add the background of music and culture of his parents, how could he not be a remarkable individual and a wonderful addition to any family tree. May his contagious smile continue to brighten your hearts. With heartfelt condolences and prayer.

He was such a kind, caring person, and we have many fond memories of his visits to mom’s place in Langley. We enjoyed the jam sessions downstairs, and the many laughs we had with Darren and Bev….such a lovely couple! Darren spread happiness everywhere he went. He will truly be missed by all. Xo

Dear Bev, Rachel, Bob and the Kowaluk family. It is with great sadness we share our condolences on the passing of Darren, He left us much to soon.
We have had the great pleasure of having Darren as a family member for the last 25 years. He was a kind, caring person, he always had a warm welcoming smile and a twinkle in his eye - a warning that you never knew what might come next. Darren took great pleasure in making others laugh, we had many good laughs with him and at him over his antics at family gatherings. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
May your memories bring you comfort.
Love Mark & Linda and the Spurgeon family

Deeply saddens me to hear this because he’s such an energy. He had an excitement for life, that I wish I had. His laugh, his smile, and his ability to make any day feel like good weather. I’ll miss the summer basement jams and how he would leave his guitar picks taped to the wall, so that they would be there when he came back on his next trip. He was full of adventure and everyone who met him loved him immediately. Raising a glass, toasting Darren, and sending love from The Wenmans.

To Bev, Rachel, Bob, Linda, Larren, Chelsey, Nicole, Shane, Callie, spouses, cousins, friends and family. I hope this message finds you surrounded by strength and love in these incredibly tough times. It is with a heavy heart that we extend our deepest condolences to you and the family for the loss of Darren.
Darren was truly a remarkable person, and his absence leaves a void that is hard to fill. His vibrant presence was the life of every party, always bringing joy and laughter to those around him. I fondly recall the times when his musical talents lit up our family gatherings, filling the air with melodies that touched our hearts. His passion for music was evident and truly inspiring.
Losing Darren is a profound loss, and words seem insufficient to express the sorrow felt. Please know that we are here for you in every way possible during this difficult time. Darren's memory will forever be cherished in our hearts, and his legacy will continue to live on through the beautiful moments and music he shared with each of us.
We will miss him immensely.
With all our love and deepest sympathy,
Michelle, Roger, Auntie Helen, Jerry, Bill (Trish), Katherine (David)

Deepest condolences Bev & Kowaluk Family. My memories of Darren will be his happy-go-lucky personality - never afraid to dress up and participate at gatherings. It's great Darren went after his musical passion, bringing joy to so many. I would sometimes see Darren on my noon-hour walks on River Landing - he'd wave and greet me with a big smile and "Hello"...until we meet on a trail again, farewell and RIP my friend.

Those of us who knew him, loved him. You couldn’t help yourself. His charismatic charm, enthusiasm, humbleness, kindness and infectious laugh made it easy. Add his natural flare for comedy, Darren was never afraid to join in, dress up in costume, provide improv entertainment and add joy to any occasion. Unsure whether his Leprechaun or Elvis performances were our favourite.
Born and raised an “east-sider”, our friend’s group converted him and he embraced not only the westside but an honorary Redmen (as his dad had been) and Leprechaun.
Among all his amazing attributes to share, his best quality was being Bev’s husband, soulmate and partner-in-life-adventures.
To our cousin & our friend, you will be missed immensely in both family and friend gatherings.
RIP DARREN KOWALUK
For Bev, Auntie Rachel & Uncle Bob, Linda, Randy & family, Larren, Sheri & family; The Fedoriuk and Kowaluk Families:
We share your loss and mourn with you.
Love, Dimitri, Darla, Chance, Dylan, April & Maverick Dublanica

So sorry to hear this. Darren (and Glenn) and I had a lot fun back in the day. We first met at Kelsey. Many Intramural sports and hockey, helping in his band days, jamming in our basement and trips to Edmonton. Was even his roommate for a time before I left the city. I still have that white guitar he borrowed for his portfolio. Lots of great memories, far too young.

The love of my life, my soul mate, my best friend and buddy, the very essence of my being; Darren I miss you so much (just like your song . . .) but we were walking in paradise (just like your other song . . ) our whole lives together. 30 years!! God put you in my life for a reason, and you have enriched my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. I am so immensely thankful that we were put together to share our life here on earth, and I can't wait until we are reunited again to pick up where we left off. In the meantime, I will cherish our love forever, the memories, the laughs - oh the laughs we had, and I will continue soldiering on and exploring the world like you'd want me to. You will be with me every step of the way, and I know you will be seeing the beauty of God's land right beside me. Thank you for sharing your love. Thank you for showing me how to tackle things around the house and yard. Thank you for the music. Thank you for being you.
Nighty night, have a good sleep, see you in the morning. Love you later - your loving wife Bev.
