Daryl dedicated much of his professional life as a Regional Manager for Florida Gas Transmission. Beyond his career, he was deeply devoted to his community; often wiring churches, leading worship services, and lending his hands and heart to help others. A gifted guitarist and vocalist, he shared his love of music both professionally and for the sheer joy it brought him and those around him.
