Darrell Hines Obituary
June 22, 1946 - August 19, 2025
Farmville, Virginia - Darrell Raymond Hines, age 79, passed peacefully from this life into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 19, 2025.
Born on June 22, 1946, in Gordon, Nebraska, Darrell was the beloved son of Raymond Hines and Pauline Brooks Hines. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1966 to 1970 during the Vietnam War, working as a dental technician aboard the USS Samuel Gompers. His honorable service earned him the National Defense Service Medal. On March 24, 1967, Darrell married the love of his life, Joan Caroline Douglass Hines "Joanie". Together, they shared a beautiful life until her passing on May 12, 2014.
Their marriage was a testament to faith, love, and partnership.
After his military service, Darrell dedicated 36 years to the U.S. Postal Service. In 2004, he and Joanie, along with their sons and their families, relocated from Redding, California to the Boise, Idaho area. Retirement did not slow Darrell down; he and Joanie continued to serve the Lord through the Mobile Missionary Assistance Program (MMAP), traveling in their RV to support ministries across the country for seven years. Darrell had a deep love for travel and adventure, sharing memorable journeys with Joanie and friends to Scotland, England, Hawaii, and many destinations across the United States.
He is survived by his two sons, Bryan Hines (wife, Susan Hines) and Keith Hines (wife, Timmie Hines); grandchildren Spencer Hines, Riley Hines, Cooper Hines, Kenzie Hines, Eilidh Hines, and Kade Hines; two bonus grandchildren, Cody Nasburg and Kathyn Nasburg; and four great-grandchildren. His legacy of faith and love lives on in each of them. Darrell will be remembered by all who knew him as a servant of the Lord, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His life was a reflection of grace, kindness and faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
In lieu of flowers, Darrell would have wanted contributions to be made to Samaritan's Purse, a ministry close to his heart. Donations can be made online at samaritanspurse.org. Puckett Funeral Home is serving the family. www.puckettfh.com.
