I am greatful that he had that time with all of his wonderful friends. Thank you for that. He will be greatly missed...it meant a lot to read all of these messages.

My deepest sympathy to Aly and the rest of Darrell's family. We had a great visit at our 40th class reunion and a real laugh about our high school date from hell. Darrell still had his youthful charm that we all remember so well. He was a terrific guy and a good friend.

I was a South High "66" classmate of Darrell's. It was great to see him at the 40th Reunion in July. Talked to him for a few minutes - he had a big smile on his face and was enjoying the evening. I am so sorry for your loss & also ours - he will be greatly missed by us all.

Darrell will be remembered by his friends as a kind, caring and fun person. I'm so grateful to have had a few moments with him at our high school reunion this past July.

I last visited with Darrell at our high school reunion on July 15th. He was as friendly and fun to be with as our many times together in high school. He was pleased with his business which he mentioned he was in the process of selling. His only regret was that it kept him away from fishing. He was all smiles and looking forward to the future. He obviously was a man of faith. He will be missed by me and his other class mates of SHS Class of '66.
