St. Albans, Maine - Darrell M. Waite born February 10, 1966, in Farmington, Maine, passed away August 2, 2026, with his family by his side.

Darrell grew up in Canton, Maine, and from a young age always knew he wanted to be a chemical engineer. His path was a straight one. He graduated from the University of Maine chemical engineering school with honors. He was passionate about his work, traveling the world, innovating and developing better practices, and writing many intellectual property patents for the pulping and paper industry. Darrell lived for and loved the New England Patriots, he never missed a game either on TV or in person.

He is survived by his wife, Gail (Wright) Waite of Saint Albans, Maine; son, Darrell Charles Waite; two grandchildren, Nicholas and Christopher Waite, all of South Bloomfield, Ohio; and a very special niece, Jessie (Waite) Simpson of Auburn, Maine.

There will not be a service, as this is the way Darrell would want it to be.
