Darrell Paul Robertson, 64, passed away on January 7, 2026, in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Born on March 2, 1961, in Streator, Illinois, Darrell lived a life marked by resilience, creativity, and a deep love for music and storytelling.
Darrell was the beloved father of three children: Jessica Robertson of Port St. Lucie, Florida; Kyle Robertson of Harmony, Pennsylvania; and Sarah Robertson of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. He also leaves behind four cherished grandchildren and one great-grandson. His memory will be held close by his three sisters—Carol Hetesi, Janet Petrillo, and Tracy Hauger—all residing in Florida.
He was preceded in death by his father, Paul Donald Robertson (2008), and his mother, Eleanor (Meinheit) Magnuson (2019).
A man of many layers and a heart full of generosity, Darrell was known for his kind spirit and sharp sense of humor. Life presented him with many challenges—especially in recent years—but he faced them with a unique blend of wit and perseverance. Through it all, he found unwavering support in his daughter Jessica, whose steadfast presence brought him comfort during difficult times.
Darrell had an immense passion for music that spanned all genres. Whether it was the rhythm of rock or the soulfulness of blues, music was a constant companion throughout his life. He also had a gift for writing—his reflections often hinted at a life rich with stories waiting to be told. Those who knew him often remarked that he should have written a book about his experiences; it would have been quite the tale.
At Darrell's request, no funeral service or memorial will be held. In lieu of formal gatherings, those who wish to honor his memory are encouraged to share their stories and memories—a fitting tribute to a man who valued connection and expression above all else.
Darrell Paul Robertson will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort and inspiration to those whose lives he touched.
