John Burnitt

Darrell was one of a kind. Cant believe he's been gone 9 years. We had a couple of things in common, cars, tasting whiskey and the blues. We loved listening to music but the blues was a mainstay. God bless our memories of him.

I was a next door neighbor of Darrell's for many years (1966 to 1978). His brother, Stan, and I would hang out quite a bit. Darrell was older, so he usually didn't want to have too much to do with us--we were only kids then. I am sad to hear of his passing though. I hope that his family is doing well, as I'm sure he is greatly missed.

I was greatly saddened to learn of Darrell's passing. He was a good friend in Jr. High and High School,- he had such a kind heart and a wonderful sense of humor. My sincere condolences to all his family for your very great loss.

I just received word of Darrell's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Burnitt family.

Darrell was one of the "good guys" you are lucky enough to cross paths with in life. As President of Sigma Nu he had a much greater impact shaping young lives, especially mine, then he ever realized.

It was an honor to have known him.

Rest in Peace Commander Burnitt

This news just reached me; my thoughts go out to Darrell's family.
Darrell and I were pretty close friends in jr high. I often hopped on my old 10-speed and rode from my house near Shoal Creek to go spend the day with Darrell up in northwest hills. I remember discussions on almost every topic under the sun, and Darrell usually laughing about something. And I remember him belonging to a record club, so he'd often play me his latest acquisition. (To this day, whenever I see/hear a "Bread"...

I hadn't seen Darrell in years thought of him occasionally in the last few years wish I could have met him again. I am sure he will be missed greatly

I will always remember meeting him the first time in Austin. No doors at the Sigma Nu house were safe. We will all miss him.

Although my heart aches with unbelievable sadness, I write this note with tears of happiness on behalf of such a wonderful man. He touched the lives of many people and those that remember him remember his huge heart, his contagious smile, and his admirable presence. Darrell was known for his determination, knowledge and prominence of doing things the right way, and aside from his jovial, humorous self, he had a gentle soul. I am honored and privileged to have been able to know this side of...
