William "Bill" E. Darby, 52, of Aurora, passed away Thursday, December 22, 2022 at Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora. He was born February 5, 1970 in Aurora, the loving son of Bill and Sue (Colwell) Darby. He married Julie Carver on June 12, 1993 at First Apostolic Church in Aurora where Bill had been a member for forty-five years.
