Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Darrell touched so many lives..it was due to the love for his family, that he was able to do so. He touched my family in so many ways. Although, Frito Lay has lost a true mentor, leader and friend to many...his legacy will live on for others to be better, strive for more, not only professionally, but moreso personally. Your Frito family will miss you Darrell, and will continue to pray for your sweet, precious family.
