His love extended deeply to his pets and to traveling, which allowed him to explore the world and create lasting memories with his loved ones.

Darryl is survived by his wife, Linda Mohler, who stood by his side with steadfast love; his children, Amanda Mohler, Paul (Tresa) Mohler, and Stephanie Mohler; and his stepchildren, Lynn (Steve) Shooner and Stephen (Angela) Hoeft. Cherished grandchildren include Melanie (Mel) Mohler and Alexander Mohler, along with two other granddaughters and two grandsons who continue his legacy of kindness and strength. He was also a treasured brother-in-law to Ben (Sandy) Jones and Mick (Carmen) Jones, surrounded by nieces and nephews who held him in great affection.

Darryl was preceded in death by his first wife, Barbara Mohler; his parents, Elizabeth and Paul Mohler; and Patty Carone, his sister-in-law. Their memories live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
