Darrell Six Obituary

Darrell W. Six: Collector, Craftsman, and Creator of Second Chances.

Darrell was a lifelong Olympian who grew up on Budd Inlet and carried his love of the water into the US Navy and decades of family time on Puget Sound. He spent his life collecting stories, friendships, and antique tools. Darrell enjoyed woodworking and giving life to wood pieces others deemed unusable, creating works with fresh purpose and meaning.

Please join Darrell's Children and Grandchildren for an Open House Service to honor his life and Legacy on Friday, September 19th, from 3:00-5:00 p.m. at 455 North St SE, Tumwater, WA 98501.

Your presence and memories are warmly welcomed. May we Remember Darrell's way of finding new purpose in what others overlooked.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
