Darin Jarrett

Darin Joel Jarrett, better known to all as “Boonie", was born August 4th, 1962 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania to Cheryl Lynne Bowser of Atlantic City, New Jersey and John Rollins of South Carolina who preceded him in death. Darin was the first grandson and first grandchild of the late Dr. Carrie E. Fitzgerald of Atlantic City, New Jersey who also preceded him in death. On February 17th, 2021, God called Darin home to rest in eternal peace.
Darin was educated in the Atlantic City Public School System and earned his High School Diploma in later years on February 10th, 1984 from The State of New Jersey Board of Education. Over many years, Darin improved his skill level in carpentry and warehousemen-ship and shared his knowledge and skill with others who had a thirst to learn his trades.
Darin was raised in a Christian environment in Atlantic City, New Jersey with his spiritual growth and guidance beginning with our Hamilton Memorial United Methodist Church Family.
Darin was mild mannered with a heart as big as he was a “Gentle Giant.” At times his smile would “light-up-the-world.” He was often called upon in his community to de-escalate situations that would otherwise turn bad! He was known by many with his physical abilities to calm a situation down with ease!
Darin leaves to cherish his memory: brother Dante D. Kelly; sisters Shanta U. Dudley and Chemia A.T Kelly; aunt: Michele A. Bailey; nephews: Corey L. Williams and Cortez L. Williams, and Kymani V. Dudley; nieces: Kamera T. Bowser, Kayla L. Hawks, Khloe A. Bowser and Cassy L. Myers; first cousins: Marlon D. Bowser and Lamar D. Bailey; second and third cousins from our late cousins Margaret E. Campbell and Doris Sherman, and a host of friends.
