Darwin was born September 27, 1963 at Huron Hospital to Dean and Dianna (Moore) Senska. He attended Forestburg School where he had participated in sports, Glee Club, Chorus and mischief. After graduating he enlisted in the navy. Upon returning from the navy he worked numerous years at Wrap It, PBM, Jacks Links, Todd Snedeker and Mike Brosnan.
He loved riding his bike and especially attending the Sturgis Rally. He was a fair weather rider, not too hot, not too cold or windy and not too far. One of his most memorial events was attending the Indianapolis 500 Race. He enjoyed fishing, car racing and sports.
Those left to mourn his passing are his daughter Mara (Alex Peterson), granddaughter Everly, mother Dianna Senska, brother Douglas and Debey Senska and sister Debra Senska (Randy and Lily Abbott), Niece Dianna Jo Becker ( Colt, Luke and Jayden) and numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father Dean Senska, Mara’s mother Val Stroud, a nephew Gunnar Becker and both sets of Grandparents.
His last beautiful contribution to this world was donating his kidneys and corneas to give others a longer life.
Arrangements are with Nurnberg-Basham Funeral Service in Woonsocket.
