We are so very sorry for the Dargin family.  It is hard to believe Jim has passed. He was an exemplary dad, doctor, and neighbor.  Most importantly, he had the most perfect lawn in our neighborhood. You could play golf on it if he would have allowed it. May God keep his family safe and his soul in peace.

Dr. James Dargin is a person whom the ICU nurses deeply loved and respected. His kindness and calming presence make me and my patients feel safe and secure. When everyone else is in panic mode and don’t know what to do, Dr. Dargin is always there to the rescue. his memories will live in our hearts. My thoughts, prayers of healing and comfort to his family. I will miss you Dr. Dargin.

We were so devastated to hear this news.  The Dargin family was always such a bright light in our former  neighborhood.  Everytime we would walk by the house and they were outside, we would stop and chat with Beth, Jim, the kids and their sweet dog.  We wish their beautiful family peace as they navigate through this very sad and unexpected time.  

I can't describe the sorrow that everyone is going through at this moment. Dr. Dargin was the attending we had believed to guard the patient against death. His calm presence and excellent intensive care skills have been and will always be inspiring every of his trainee to pursue the best of him or herself. I sincerely appreciate his ever presence in this world.
