Darin Michael Wilcox

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.tridentsociety.com/location/san-jose-ca for the Wilcox family.

Darin Michael Wilcox was born April 28, 1977 in Bellevue, Washington. He was legally adopted by Maurice & Patricia Wilcox shortly thereafter, joining the family that included his older sister Dawn Marie Wilcox. Father, brother, husband, boyfriend, uncle, son. Darin was smart, funny, compassionate and loving. He was talented in art and music. He could play a song on the piano after hearing it only one time on the radio. He loved the Lord. He was an incredible athlete and loved going fishing with his Dad, giving his Mom bear hugs and spending time with his sons. He loved animals and had a huge heart for any creature in pain. He also was very compassionate and generous with the homeless. When his Dad asked him why he said: "Because someday I will probably be homeless." Darin struggled mightily with addiction, incarceration and ultimately homelessness. He was hit and killed by a Caltrain in San Jose, California on Thursday, July 7th at 6:16 pm. There is much we don't know about his final days and hours, but we do know that in spite of his struggles, many loved him and we will miss him.

"hurt travels through time

from one person to another

this unwanted heaviness moves

from the past into the present

and then into the future

one of the most heroic things

anyone can do is break the line of hurt

when people heal themselves,

they stop the hurt from multiplying

and their relationships become healthier

when people heal themselves

they also heal the future"
