Darin Finney, Crested Butte, CO — The community is mourning the loss of Darin Finney, who passed away last week after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a cherished husband, friend, and colleague, known for his dedication and craftsmanship at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, where he worked for over 20 years.
Darin’s wife, affectionately known as Mo, is deeply affected by his passing. During his illness, Mo was a pillar of support, tirelessly researching treatment options and caring for Darin and her mother, who was also diagnosed with cancer. Despite their efforts, the aggressive disease made it challenging for Darin to maintain his strength.
A fundraiser organized by Patti Miller aims to help alleviate the financial burden left by Darin’s treatment. So far, $2,750 has been raised out of a $60,000 goal, with donations from generous supporters like Rob Rossman, Cheryl Kaladas, Jane Martindell, Tiffany Deutsch, and Mike Arbaney.
Patti Miller shared her thoughts on Facebook, urging the community to support Mo during this difficult time. "Please join us in supporting our dearest Mo Finney through this difficult time as she mourns the loss of her husband, our beloved Darin Finney. Donations go directly to Mo to alleviate debt accumulated during Darin’s treatment, and provide a moment of relief as she navigates this next chapter. We love you Mo and Darin!!!!"
The community has expressed their condolences and support through touching Facebook posts. Darin’s memory lives on through the many buildings he helped create and the love he shared with those around him. His friends and colleagues at Crested Butte Mountain Resort remember him fondly and will gather to celebrate his life on Saturday, July 27th at Ten Peaks. Attendees are encouraged to bring a potluck side or dessert to share.
