"If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make an impact on the world that can never be erased."
It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the passing of a beloved member of our Y family, Darrin Regier.
For more than 32 years, Darrin gave his time, talents and heart to the YMCA. He began his Y journey in 1994 at the Hutchinson YMCA and most recently served at the McPherson YMCA. Throughout the years, Darrin became much more than a colleague—he was a mentor, a friend and a familiar, welcoming presence to countless youth and families in our community.
Darrin’s impact on youth sports at the Y and throughout the Hutchinson and McPherson communities is difficult to measure. He was instrumental in bringing tackle football to the Y and helped grow it into a successful program that served young athletes for more than 20 years. He also introduced kids to other activities, including dodgeball, always looking for new ways to keep them active, engaged and having fun. When Darrin brought his experience and passion to the McPherson YMCA, he continued doing what he did best—creating opportunities for kids to learn, grow and feel like they belonged.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Darrin will remember his big smile, his kind heart and his willingness to lend a hand whenever someone needed it. He cared deeply about the people around him and had a way of making others feel welcome. He was a valued member of our team, a cherished friend and an important part of our Y family.
Thank you Darrin for making the communities we serve a better place. We are grateful for the many years we were fortunate enough to have you as part of our Y family. Your legacy will be missed but not forgotten.
