Lennie was born on November 3, 1952 in Homer, La. and lived in Bernice, La. all of his life. He was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Ann Key Darden; father, Lennie F. Darden, Sr.; maternal grandparents, James Thomas and Ola Beatrice Key; paternal grandparents, William Turner Darden and Lucy Coke Darden; nephew, Jon Eric Bowman; sisters-in-law, Bobbie Jean Darden and Vickie Jo Darden.

Lennie was highly regarded in the oil field. He worked all over the world for over 36 years, serving as a drilling consultant for the last 8 years of his career, until his health worsened in 2008. He loved fishing, hunting, and gardening. More than once, he talked about the slabs of crappie he and fishing partners, Charles Harkins and Ronnie Harris, stole from Lake D’Arbonne. One of his most memorable hunts was harvesting an Alaskan Kodiak Brown Bear in 1980. He also had a talent for growing tomatoes, squash, and peppers which he loved to share with family and friends.
