Darrell loved Jesus with all his heart! He also loved his family and church family with all his heart. Darrell was always witnessing about Jesus. He also enjoyed his work and continued working until his recent health issues. He found joy in pruning his grapevines and working outside and he loved gospel music and Joy FM radio. Darrell was always optimistic and encouraging - whenever someone would ask how he was he would say "I'm blessed by the best!" even during his last days.
