Darryl Lynch Obituary
Darryl was born in Richmond, Va. He went to Freeman High School and continued to cheer them on for every sporting event throughout his life. At the age of 23, Darryl married his high school sweetheart and his family became his top priority. He spent many years coaching his daughters in soccer and softball; he was always their number one fan. While he was a devoted husband and father, he wore no title better than that of Pop-Pop. His grandchildren could always count on him for popsicles for breakfast and matchbox cars in his pocket. Darryl was the type of guy who never met a stranger and would talk the ear off anyone he saw during his daily Kroger runs. He loved to cook and spent his whole life feeding his family and friends. His favorite saying was that he could be found with a beer in one hand and trouble in the other. His larger than life personality filled every room he entered and it will be felt by his family forever.
A service will be held on Saturday, September 17 at 11 a.m. at West Richmond Church of the Brethren, 7620 Wanymala Rd., Richmond, Va. 23229 with a reception to follow. The family will receive family and friends one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations to charities in your area that support cancer patients in their time of need.

I am sorry to hear of Darryl´s passing. I worked with Darryl and Sandra at the Ridge Cinema and Darryl was always fun to be around. It sounds as if he didn´t change much over the years. I still laugh when thinking of some of the good times we had playing football or just hanging out at the theatre.

Sandra and Family,
So very sorry to learn of Darryl's passing. So many great memories of Darryl at West Richmond COB. He was always fun to be around and faithful to the Church. Memories of the Men's Breakfast every Sunday always makes me laugh. I know He will be missed, but take comfort in that he lived life to the fullest. He touched many lives with his happy approach and caring attitude. His labor completed here, he is at home in the arms of Jesus.
May God give you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
