Darrell Vashus Obituary
January 6, 1954 - October 28, 2025
Darrell Vashus - devoted husband, proud father and grandfather, uncle, loyal friend, and man who could fix just about anything - passed away suddenly on October 28, 2025.
Darrell was the youngest of three sons, born to parents Lawrence and Bernice Vashus on January 6, 1954. Born and raised in Glendive, he carried his small-town roots proudly, along with the values that shaped him: work hard, be honest, and treat everyone with kindness (and maybe offer them a Bacardi diet or a cold beer while you're at it).
Darrell was married to the love of his life, Jan, for nearly 48 wonderful years. Together, they were a force - building homes, running businesses, and creating a life full of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love.
Darrell is survived by his children, Kyle (Kari) Vashus (and their sons Alex and Ethan), Jill (Lucas) Sanchez (and their sons Mason and Max), and brother Doug (Kayrene) Vashus, and several nieces. He is preceded in death by his loving wife Jan and parents Lawrence and Bernice. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and the kind of hospitality that made everyone feel like family.
A celebration of Darrell's life will be held in Glendive, Mont., on November 14, 2025, at 2 p.m. at Silha Funeral Homes. Family and friends are invited to share stories, raise a glass, and honor a man who made life brighter for everyone around him.
Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www.SilhaFuneralHomes.com.
