Daryl Gibson

Daryl Gibson, 77, of Louisville, Kentucky, peacefully passed away on March 31, 2025.

Born on March 3, 1948, to the late Ruben and Helen Jefferies Gibson. Daryl accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of West Chestnut Street Baptist Church. He attended Jefferson County Public Schools and was a proud graduate of Central High School.

He served his country honorably in the United States Army and later dedicated many years of hard work to the Sanitation Department of Louisville.

Daryl was an avid supporter of University of Louisville basketball. He often traveled out of town to cheer on his beloved Cards, never missing a chance to show his team spirit. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing tennis at Chickasaw Park, where he found both competition and camaraderie.

Daryl was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Maurice Gibson.

He leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish his memory including his siblings – William Gibson Sr. (Deborah), Toni Gibson, Constance Buck, and Vanessa Ellis – and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
