He was a chemical operator at ORNL and owned his own jewelry business. In quiet times he enjoyed nature, photography and sculpting.

Darr and ex-wife Ashlee; daughter, Mary Lynn Haun; grandchildren, Joseph and Taylor Darr; sister, Sandra Follis; nephews, Eric and Eddie Weaver and families; ex-wife and friend, Mickey Darr Blakely; ex-wife, Charlene Pratt; numerous cherished cousins; lifelong friend, Billy Paul Evans; and other friends too numerous to mention.
