Darrell Isaacs Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Warren F. Toler Funeral Home from Jan. 20 to Jan. 21, 2026.
Darrell Issacs's faith ended in sight on January 19th 2026, surrounded by his adoring, devoted family. Born in 1945, Darrell was a devout servant of Christ, pastoring and sharing the gospel for over 40 years. He was married to the love of his life, Dessie Marie Gordon Isaacs, for over 61 years; their marriage a testament to commitment, faith, friendship, and love. Together they raised two children, Jacqueline and Steven. Darrell retired from Southern States Feed Mill. In the eyes of his family, there was nothing he couldn't fix. He was always quick to lend a helping hand to anyone, and was especially known for his lawn mower/weed eater repair skills. He enjoyed attending church, rabbit hunting, front porch sitting and simply being outside, and especially spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by:

His parents, Floyd and Maggie Marcum Isaacs

Three sisters: Arzella Crawford, Bobbie Gordon, and Janet Woosley

His 80 years on earth were certainly a testament to the Lord and a life well lived. Even though his family is heartbroken, we rejoice in the promise of eternal life together in Heaven.
