Darrell loved working in his shop building furniture and remolded the inside of of his home to appear as if it was from the 1800's. He loved football and rarely missed a Bronco game. He looked forward every year to hunting season when he could spend time with his buddies on the Western Slope. He loved getting together with neighbor's to make sausage twice a year and was always willing to lend a hand whenever needed. Darrell never met a stranger and there was nothing he liked better than "shooting the breeze".
His greatest joy was his girls, he was very proud of the way the lived their lives with integrity and grace. His greatest blessing were his grandchildren.
Darrell will be greatly missed by his family and friends who he generously and willingly gave his time, talents, friendship and love to.
