Darren Thomas Foxwell

Darren Thomas Foxwell, 18, of Easton, died of injuries sustained in an automobile accident on June 18, 2025. Born September 13, 2006, he was the son of Len N. Foxwell and Kerry A. Daly, and the younger brother of Colleen N. Foxwell. Darren attended Easton Elementary School, Easton Middle School and graduated from Easton High School (EHS) on May 28. Darren received his letter in two sports at EHS. He was a member of the wrestling team for three seasons and he also played as a defenseman for the lacrosse team. He had committed to playing collegiate lacrosse at Bethany College (W. Va.). He was admired in both sports for his work ethic, sportsmanship and support of his teammates. Prior to high school, Darren played youth sports throughout Talbot County for Easton Little League, the YMCA and Shore FC. His warmest memories of those early years were not of wins, championships or individual achievements, but of simply enjoying good times – both on and off the field – with his coaches and teammates. Darren grew up at the YMCA – from his earliest days as an infant, attending summer camp and his final years as a camp counselor and soccer referee. The Easton Family YMCA was a constant and beloved presence in Darren’s life—he was the quintessential “Y kid”. Darren was beloved throughout the community for his carefree spirit, dry sense of humor and quiet acts of kindness. In the days following his accident, numerous teammates and childhood friends made the trip from Easton to visit him in Baltimore at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland. His physicians and nurses shared that they had never witnessed such an outpouring of love and support as they had for Darren. It was, therefore, fitting that Darren chose to become an organ donor upon receiving his driver’s license. As a result of his final act of love, his heart, liver, kidneys, corneas and skin are now saving lives and forever changing them for the better. Darren accepted Christ into his heart on October 7, 2017, and is now in the loving arms of God. His family is comforted with the assurance that they will see him again. In addition to his parents and sister, Darren is survived by his maternal grandparents, Jerry and Linda Daly of Cumming, GA; his paternal grandmother, Janice G. Foxwell of Easton, MD, and his aunts, uncles and cousins. Darren's funeral service will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 11 a.m. in the auditorium of Easton High School, 723 Mecklenburg Avenue, Easton MD. They will be officiated by Rabbi Peter Hyman, Rabbi Emeritus, Temple B'nai Israel of Easton. Arrangements are being handled by the Fellows Newnam & Helfenbein Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will follow the service on Wednesday from 2pm until 6pm at the Easton Volunteer Fire Department, 315 Leonard Reick Dr., Easton. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made in the memory of Darren Foxwell to the following organizations: The Easton Family YMCA, 202 Peachblossom Road, Easton MD 21601.
