A man with brilliant blue eyes, blonde hair and a sun-tanned smiling face.  Darrell was a friend and helper to many and caregiver to his mother.  Always on his golf cart checking on the heifers, feed, corrals, fields and homeplace.  Darrell kept a watch on the farmland making sure all was right.  He will be greatly missed.

nephews.
