Darren Grindheim
July 26, 1977 – September 29, 2015

It is with deep sorrow we announce the very sudden passing of Darren at the age of 38 after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He was predeceased by wife Sandra, grandpa Lloyd Grindheim and cousin Ryan Stilborn. Darren is survived by his children Josh (13) and Abby (10), parents Daryl and Shirley, siblings Dean (Bonnie), Amber (Trevor) Burks, April (Evan) Libke, nieces and nephews Brayden and Carter Grindheim, Isely Burks, Grayson and Bailey Libke, grandparents Don and Bea Bates and Velma Grindheim, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and his fire family. Darren was raised on the farm south of Hanley and graduated from Kenaston School. He had a passion for helping people and anyone that knew Darren knew that about him. He was an EMT for North East EMS and most recently a Fire Dispatcher for the Saskatoon Fire Department. He was passionate about his job and being a part of the firefighter brotherhood/family. Darren also devoted countless hours as a volunteer fire chief in Hanley where he resided with his kids at the time of his passing. He loved golfing, playing ball, curling (remembering every shot/play of every game so he could talk about it after) and spending time with his family, especially his kids. Darren truly loved his kids and playing with his nieces and nephews. There will forever be a void in our family that will never be filled. We would like to thank everyone involved in Darren’s care from diagnosis Sept. 20 until his death Sept. 29. The celebration of Darren’s life was held in Hanley, Sask., at the Centennial Hall on Saturday, October 3. In lieu of flowers, donations for his children can be made online at www.gofundme.com/tc5a4rak. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hanson’s Funeral Home.
