Darren Alex Hern Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Darren Alex Hern, 31 years of age passed away on Tuesday, April 12,2022. Funeral Services will be 2pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 at Austin & Bell Funeral Home Greenbrier. Burial will follow in Greenbrier Cemetery. The family will receive friends 10am until hour of service on Wednesday at the funeral home. Darren was born February 26th, 1991, in West Nyack, New York and was the youngest child of Dimas Hern, Sr. and Belinda Fuller- Hern. The family relocated to the Nashville area in January of 1996, where Darren would spend his youth, teenage years and adulthood. Darren attended Hunter’s Lane High School, where he encountered many life-long friends. Being humbly social was a special gift upon which Darren was bestowed. Those around him were drawn to his infectious and ebullient personality. He had an unassuming and disarming smile that could put anyone at ease. To know Darren is to have laughed with or to have shared a kind word, whether you were, a close friend, family or a stranger. He had a sense of humor that was second to none and he was as compassionate and loving as he was funny. Darren loved to travel and visited many places, including the country of Panama where many of his family and friends resided. He had a love of music, specifically hip hop, rap and R&B. He was passionate about God’s creatures, specifically the stray animals or those without masters. He had dreams of becoming a veterinarian. One of Darren’s most jovial moments was the day his daughter was born. He was overjoyed with love, and they shared a unique bond. Darren professed his love of Christ in his youth, then again in 2017 at Cornerstone Church. He was a resilient figure in the face of adversity: although he met challenges, he would try to push forward and adapt in any situation. Darren was a person that we were proud to call, our brother, son, nephew, cousin, father and friend. Darren leaves to cherish in his memory, loving parents; Belinda and Dimas Hern; brothers Dimas Hern, Jr., Dorian Hern: sisters, Dilsa Hern, Dayra Hern, Doris Garibaaldi; children, De’Andrea and Mariah Hern; numerous special friends, a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and other friends.
