Darrell Hines Obituary
Darrell R. Hines, 64, of St. Germain, WI (formerly of Iola), passed away peacefully at home on February 10, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of laughter and a life lived at full throttle. Though he fought a courageous battle with Parkinson’s and dementia, Darrell’s quick wit and adventurous heart remained his hallmarks until the end.
Born on July 5, 1961, in Wild Rose, WI, to Marlin and Kathryn Hines, Darrell was a man who truly knew how to live. Darrell was well known for his sense of humor and his entrepreneurial spirit. He will be remembered for his vibrant energy, love of music, snowmobiling, and time spent with his entire family.
Darrell is survived by his devoted wife, Mary; children Kyle, Seth, Tannah (Sam), Michael, and Chris; grandchildren Natalie, Ben, Winnie, and Dean; and siblings Doug (Linda), Jeanie (Lynn), Dale (Sheri), Jaci (Glenn), Jill (Tom), and Donny, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A funeral service will be held in Iola, Wisconsin, at a later date.
