Darrin Devon Mixon

Darrin Mixon was born to Donnita Fredenburg and the late Darrin L. Adams on November 19, 1988, in Detroit MI. He attended Detroit Public Schools and graduated from Eldorado High School in Las Vegas NV. After graduation he attended Mt. San Antonio College where he played football.

Darrin attended New Way Christian Community Church under the leadership of Paster Henry Cooper, where he accepted Christ at a young age. He served on the Usher Board and sang in the choir. He had a smile that could light up a room. His personality and presence kept you laughing and smiling even when you didn’t want to.

September 2016, Darrin united in Holy Matrimony to Kimberly Galvan. To this union two children were born. Darrin was so fond of his mother-n-law Amy Miller.

Darrin joined the United States Postal Service in 2017 where he was loved by many. His coworkers adored him as he could hold a conversation with anyone. His personality was so warm, inviting, and pleasant, customers purposely waited in line to be serviced by him.

The bond shared between him and his mother flourished and grew into a unique friendship. During their countless conversations with each other, his mother use to tease him because he would tell the same stories over and over again. Even when she told him that he had already told her that story he would still repeat it again. She is going to miss those conversations.

Darrin and his brother had a strong bond. Although they picked with each other it was nothing but love to make each other laugh. Most of the time they would involve their mother in their nitpicking and say she loves me more than you bro. With love she would respond, “You are my favorite oldest son and you are my favorite youngest son.” Darrin’s conclusion never wavered and he would say, “She still loves me more!”

Family time was important. Whether he was watching sports together, playing video games with his boys and having family fun-game nights at his moms. The highlight of his day was watching his children play sports. He coached his son's football team and was also the hype man (he could really get the team wired up). Darrin had a special handshake with his boys that they will treasure forever. He also enjoyed bowling where he was determined to beat his daughter but many times, he fell short. Darrin was blessed with a bonus child whom he would always say was his first son. Family meant so much to him and he was very proud of all four of his children. Michael Denton Sr was a special person in his life. He raised Darrin from the age of 11 months and this is who he called dad.

A heart of pure gold was he. He had a gentle soul and his kind spirit drew people to him. His brotherhood cycle was amazing with most being fictive kin for 20 plus years, Richard, Justin S, Cooper, Norris, Justin E, Steve, and James (preceded him in death) just to name a few. Cherish Thompson was also a special friend who was dear to his heart.

Darrin departed this life on June 22, 2025, at 8:26PM. He leaves to cherish his memory his mother Donnita Katrell Fredenburg, Papa Joel Fredenburg (step dad), Brother Michael Donnell Denton JR, Blake Fredenburg (step brother), Brandon Fredenburg (step brother), Laylah Adams (half-sister), 4 children Katrell Antoinette Cloud-Mixon (Christina Sims), Victor Gabriel, Darrin Devon Mixon Jr and Deseo Donnell Mixon (Kimberly Galvin) and a host of aunts Monique, Jacklin, Vivian, Regina, Tonetta, Leticia, uncles Gary and Joseph, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
