Joanne and Family,

Darrell was a very special person, friend, and neighbor to Nick and I. Whatever Darrell did was special and he did it very well. I know that is why GOD called him on. Nick and I brought our homes in Myrtle Beach at the same time and moved in the same time. We hit if off as if we had known each other for years. Nick and I were blessed to have Darrell and Joanne four years,for our neighhbors. It really seemed like 20 years. We had so much fun living together...

Darrell was a great man, a great husband to Joanne, a great father to his children and great friend to so many. I am thankful and grateful for the time I was able to spend with him over the years. I will miss the laughter and the fun that we always had anytime we were together. You will be missed greatly but never forgotten. Rest in peace. Stacey

Darrell...I want to thank you for being a great Father In-law to me. Saying goodbye to you was like saying goodbye to my own dad. I will always remember our talks by your bedside, thanking you for Darlene and for loving Leann. I will forever remember what a kind and giving man you were, always putting your family first. I hope you know what an inspiration you were to your family...because of you, they have good morals, family values and most of all family love. I will always remember our...

Darrell, the love of my life...I know you are in a better place, with no more pain. I am so lost and empty without you. You are everywhere in the house...a constant reminder of life without you. I love you so much and miss you so much!! You were too young to leave us! I know we will meet up again one day...Rest in Peace. All My Love, Joanne

Keeping The Dalton Gang in our thoughts and prayers.

What I will remember the most is what a generous person you were. Thank you for all the help around the house, from building a deck, finishing off the basement, and installing the impossible lamp post. You always had time to explain something or give advice on how to do projects. You had a rare gift that allowed you to talk to others and make instant friends. Thank you for all you did. And thank you for the biggest gift of all which was when you said “yes” to whether or not I could have your...

darrell, ricie and i will miss you so very much.

Dear Darrell,
I want to thank you for being my father for all these years having lost my dad to cancer. Having you in my life filled the void and the hole that was left in my heart. You were the most giving person I ever met and you made me and Amanda feel like a part of your family from the first day you met us, that always made me feel special. Thanks for all the help and guidance you provided, you will be missed and our family will not be the same without you. Say hello to my parents,...
