Darrel worked for Darling Fixtures in Corning for 24 years. After that, he worked off and on for 20 years at Riverside Express in Pocahontas where he made many friends that he loved dearly. Darrel loved making pizzas and thought he made the best. He always loved meeting people and trying to make them happy.

Darrel was a big fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Arkansas Razorbacks, and he enjoyed collecting sports cards and sports memorabilia, but his greatest joy in life was spending time with his grandkids and spoiling them every chance that he could.

In 2021, Darrel surrendered his life to Jesus and grew stronger in his faith each day. He was also a proud member of West Point Pentecostal Church in Doniphan, Missouri. Serving the Lord brought him great joy and peace.
