Darshan enjoyed life in the U.S. greatly. Unfortunately, because of a work-related injury, he soon lost his eyesight in 1997. That did not stop him from living life to the fullest. He stayed strong for his wife and children. He loved spending time with his family, enjoyed listening to cassette tapes of Kuldeep Manak, and performing gidha boliyan for his family. His favorite sweet treat was kheer. Darshan enjoyed going on walks, sitting in the sun, and thumb wrestling his granddaughter Sukhraj.
