RANDALL CLYDE DARR

RANDALL CLYDE DARR Passed away August 31, 2011 from brain cancer. He was 53 years old. Randy was born and raised in West Covina, CA, where he lived for 28 years, then moved to the High Desert for 10 years, and finally to his favorite fishing place, Lake Nacimiento, near Paso Robles, Calif. He lived there for 15 years in a beautiful recreational community called "Christmas Cove". Most of that time he lived with his faithful companion, "Chase", a white Labrador Retriever. Randy was a truck driver and heavy equipment operator, involved in hazardous waste petroleum disposal. Randy's most exceptional talent was his ability to make people laugh. His many friends & family will miss his good humor, quick wit, and his generosity and fun-loving nature. Randy was an outdoor sportsman, and an avid fisherman. He loved being outdoors and observing wildlife and nature in all its beauty. He enjoyed taking young people out on the lake in his aluminum boat, and teaching them all the tricks of how to catch the "big one". He is survived by his mother, Lorraine Darr of Apple Valley; son Dallas Darr and daughter-in-law, Lisa; their son, Dylan Darr, Randy's only grandchild. Randy was very proud of his little grandson, Dylan, and looked forward to the time that he could go fishing with him. He also is survived by his son Derek Darr and daughter-in-law, Helen; a brother, Jeff Darr and sister-in-law, Carla; sisters Claudia Darr and Janice Cua; and seven nephews and nieces, many extended family members and friends, including his life-long friend, Larry Thompson. Randy would want to thank those members of his family who stood by his side during this last year and especially his nephew, Jeffrey Darr, who was his "buddy" when he went through radiation and chemotherapy. He would also want to thank all those loyal friends who visited him regularly during his illness, some driving over 250 miles to do so. He loved and appreciated those visits. Our special thanks to Elizabeth Hutchinson, a family friend, who was always there when we needed her. Also, many thanks to The Visiting Nurses Association of Inland County, Riverside, CA. Donations to this organization would be appreciated.
