He lived a full life of 93 years 0 months and 19 days and was residing at the Norfolk Veterans Home. Darwin, the son of Joel H. and Mina B. Dusseau, was born on January 12, 1922, at Pukwana, South Dakota. Darwin and his siblings, Leona, Rhona and Ward Dusseau lived in an orphanage in Denver, Colorado, when their mother died. He and his brother were later adopted by relatives and moved to South Dakota, where he attended high school in Pukwana. He transferred his junior year to Wanblee, South Dakota, where he worked as a cook in the dormitory to pay his room and board. Darwin lettered in basketball, football and track. He met Gladys Marie Bartley on the first day of class in Wanblee. Two years later, the young couple eloped and were married by the Justice of the Peace on June 6, 1942, in Martin, South Dakota. They were married 71 years before Gladys was called home to Jesus on April 26, 2013. Darwin worked on the pipeline in Rapid City, South Dakota, briefly then enlisted in the U.S. Navy. They lived in Norfolk, Virginia, and St. Charles, Missouri, as his career in the Navy concluded. Darwin and Gladys moved to Valentine, where he worked at Mullen Brothers in the parts department as a foreman. The couple joined Zion Lutheran Church in Valentine at the encouragement of Pastor Hugo Fritze. This life decision led to several family members following his example of serving the Lord. In 1956, they moved to Norfolk, working for Aid Association for Lutherans Insurance Company for 30 years. Many lifelong friends were made during this time. Darwin served in many roles at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Norfolk, including chairman of the congregation, elder, board of Christian education, Nebraska Evangelical Lutheran High School founder and radio broadcast announcer.

He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings and beloved spouse. Darwin had many hobbies throughout life but especially loved traveling and watching the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He had an incredible sense of humor, “I may have told you this one …” and was able to find joy and gratitude in any situation.
