Darrin Shane Gainer
''Mr. Gainer''

Darrin Shane Gainer, 54, of Wooster, Arkansas passed away on June 15th, 2025 surrounded by his loving wife, family and friends. He was born on August 26th, 1970 in Durant, Oklahoma to Bill and Wanda Gainer.
Darrin was preceded in death by his father, Bill Gainer and father-in-law, Eddie Flowers.
Darrin is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Jennifer Gainer of Wooster and their son, Kordell of Wooster. He is also survived by his mother, Wanda House (J.C.) of Joshua, Texas; Two sisters, Shelly Wesley (Mark) of Durant, Oklahoma and Penny Combs Gainer of Sherman, Texas. Darrin also had many nieces, nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews; his mother-in-law, Lois Flowers and sister-in-law, Rebecca Flowers, along with multiple aunts, uncles and a multitude of close friends.
Darrin served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps for 6 years. He taught Chemistry and Physics at Greenbrier High School, Pottsville High School and Central Baptist College for 28 years. After retirement from school, he and one of his best friends, Mr. Ferguson, worked hard to serve others with their lawn mowing business, "Two Teachers Lawncare".
Darrin accepted the Lord as his savior when he was sixteen years old. He did his best to serve the Lord to the best of his ability. He served faithfully at Bible Baptist Church in Durant, Grace Baptist Church in Conway and at Copperas Springs Baptist Church in Guy. He taught Sunday School, drove a bus route, led the singing and held a church service at St. Andrews nursing home for many years. He undoubtedly earned his title of ''Thou good and faithful servant.''
Darrin never went anywhere that he did not hear someone shouting, ''Mr. Gainer'', which is a testament to the impact he had on his students. Darrin always valued the importance of investing in their lives even after they graduated. Many lives have been impacted by being a student of Mr. Gainer.
Darrin did his best to serve the Lord by serving and caring for others.

Special thanks to the third-floor nurses and patient care techs at Baptist Health Conway.
