Darrell Anderson Obituary

Darrell Anderson passed away peacefully in Moses Lake, WA on April 13, 2025, in the arms of his wife Larraine, after a hard-fought journey with dementia.

He grew up in the close-knit community of Rockport along the Skagit River and was a proud graduate of Snohomish High School. At age 19, Darrell was drafted and served our country with bravery in Vietnam-a chapter of his life he never spoke of to boast, only with quiet honor.

A skilled cabinet maker and craftsman, Darrell later worked in underground utility sales with Associated Sand & Gravel, Cemex, and Granite Precast. He was known for his integrity, craftsmanship, and the way he always kept his word.

Darrell is survived by Larraine, his wife of 56 years; sons Neil and Gary Anderson; grandchildren Caitlyn (Ken) Ridler, Alexandria, Jordan, Tyler, Ava, and Olivia Anderson; and great-grandson Micaiah. He is also survived by his sister Marlene Nelson (Bernie), brother Darwin Anderson (Marsha), sister-in-law Patti Cook (Tom), and brother-in-law Bob Bettzig (Jeanette), along with many beloved nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, June 20 at 3:00 p.m. at Legion Park, 3-Lakes Road, Snohomish, WA.

Prayers to Larraine and family. Fond memories of hunting pheasants with Darrell and Larraine. I'll always be thankful to Darrell for putting a new stock and forearm on my SxS shotgun that I inherited from my father- in- law. Darrell was a very talented craftsman. Gary and Vicki
