WHat a shock to look up Darrell's name and find his obituary. I was a childhood friend of Darrell's at Franklin School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Darrell was a wonderful and caring individual. I am sad but happy to know that he finally had "family", My deepest sympathy goes out to them. Francie Dixon Martin

Darrell, you will always be my true hero. You were like a dad to me. You provided me with skill, tools, work ethic, and knowledge that will carry with me as long as I am on this earth. More important, lessons and life experience that will remain with me forever. You took me under your wing when nobody cared. You understood me when no one would listen. You guided me when all others gave up. For that, I can't thank you enough. There is a special place waiting for you up above... and I hope to see you there someday.

To Renee and family: I think you all know how much Darrell means to me, and I know how very special he was to you as well. I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring for him in his time of need.

Love you Darrell. Later.
