The Iuka Heritage Committee, Inc. and the Iuka Heritage Festival Committee would like
to convey our profound sorrow for the loss of our own Sammy Darwin/Rusty Walker. Sammy
has been a driving force and largest contributor of the Iuka Heritage Festival for many years.
He not only volunteered on the Festival Committee, but served as a Director on the
Board of Directors for the Iuka Heritage Committee, Inc. Sammy did for the Festival one of the things he did best...Programmed our Entertainment.
We will greatly miss Sammy's smiling face, his contagious zeal for life, his undying love for God,
his family, friends, and the community he loved so, which he affectionately referred to as The Cosmic
Center of the Universe. For Sammy that is exactly what Iuka, MS was..the Center of His Universe.
We join the rest of our community and the world in mourning the loss of a giant among men.
Yet we rejoice with Sammy as we know he is now with their beloved Jay and Kinsley. All of our
thoughts, our prayers and our love are with the Darwin/Bryant/Locke/Huntley/Clark families.
May our loving God wrap his arms around them tightly and comfort them in this time of loss and
forever. Rest in Peace Sammy Darwin, Rest in Peace Rusty Walker…you will ever be remembered.
