In addition to his work, Darrell was known for his love of visiting family and friends. He cherished his time spent with loved ones, filling his days with laughter and meaningful conversations. His passion for raising draft horses was another pursuit that brought him joy and fulfillment. His faith was the central focus of his life and was evident in all that he did.
