Darrell joined New Bethel CME Church and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age. He served the ministry faithfully across many spectrums over several years. You could find him on any given day at the church cleaning up, mowing the lawn, or singing in the choir. If he wasn't at the church, he was on a porch fellowshipping with family and friends, farming the field, DJ'ing, cheering on his beloved Florida State Seminoles and Washington Redskins, or with the Campbellton Men's Club.
After serving our country for twenty years, Darrell retired from the United States Army in 1998. He served several tours during his tenure. He then went on to work at Michelin in Dothan, AL for 13 years before retiring one last time in 2013. After retiring, he dedicated his life to serving both his family and his community which included being a dedicated staff member at McKinnie Funeral Home.
