Darin Freeborough

Showing his dvds all week at the Lebanon County Fair in memory of Darin. He is greatly missed.

He was a great guy, always had time to talk at conventions, have some of his dvd's.

Yes , always took time with everyone .

I think I know that guy in the picture with the two women.

He was a giving and interested person. He cared about others and he gave all that he had. He enjoyed sharing what he knew. I always felt he was comfortable being himself and never tried to be something he wasn't. We were better off because he lived.

Good, I think his picture is in the Post Office or on Milk Cartons too.......or maybe he is out on Parole by now.


Darin is surely missed!

I enjoyed talking with him at conventions.I have that shirt he's wearin in video.It's just crazy how life can be.Enjoy every minute

It's nice to see I'm not the only one who still misses him. His family probably appreciates the tribute.

Lessons learned from Darin's death is don't go out on the big water by yourself, always wear a PFD when getting ready to get on the water, and be prepared for the absolute worst when you least expect it. He was unloading his boat off the trailer, it was too big for one person but he was a big strong guy and thought he could handle it, the wind was up, the cold water was choppy, and the boat flipped over on him. Knocked him down into the water and was on top of him, held him under. Very very sad. Darin was a super nice, friendly man, very giving guy. He loved all aspects of trapping, including the trappers, and went out of his way to help people everywhere he met them. I still have some of his food baits, which were so strong I use them sparingly as lures. RIP Darin

Amen PA,i had just met him twice and the last time i won one of his dvd's in a raffle and now it sits on the mantle of my fireplace in memorium.RIPDarin.

I have some of his DVD's also. Very well put together. Never met him but can tell by the way he presented himself he was an awesome guy.

Always had time to talk to people at conventions! Always made you feel on the same level, not like he was better than you. Great person. I know he drown, did they ever find out what happened?

I sure miss the ole boy.

Never met the man, but always heard great things. Been using his baits and lures for years. I heard they are no longer going to be available. I was wondering if anyone is going to take his bait and lure business over ? Thanks. He will be missed by many.....

For those of you who are interested in Darin, there is a trapping radio podcast where Clint Locklear interviewed him. On the original trapping radio (not 2.0). I think it was numerically in the 70’s. Good interview. Seemed like a nice guy. My brother an I do a lot of fishing out of a boat. Makes you think.....
