John Darrah obituary

John Guard Darrah, the son of Joan Darrah, a former Stockton mayor, died Sept. 7, according to his obituary in today’s paper.

It says that the 46-year-old triathlete was hit by a boat while swimming in a Montana lake during a family gathering to honor his step-father-in-law, who died a week earlier in a hiking accident. Darrah led a full life.

His mother preceded him in death, and he is survived by his father, retired San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge James Darrah.
