After a life of love and quiet grace, Darwin K. Holt of Sauk Rapids, MN has passed.
What remains is memory — and the gratitude of those he loved.
Darwin spent his working life as ['laborer and manufacturer for Telex'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
The work of a parent is rarely finished — it lives on in the children he loved.
