Darrell loved his twin daughters dearly and made sure everyone knew what a wonderful mother they have. He also had a very close, special relationship with is nieces Amanda and Chelsea. Known for cracking jokes, telling stories and having the gift of gab, his late-night phone calls will be missed by many of his relatives and friends. He had a passion for music and would spend countless hours playing his guitar on video messenger with family and friends from home. He also enjoyed books and reading. As an animal lover, Darrell would often drag home stray cats when he was little. His mom remembers always checking his pockets when doing laundry and finding anything from a toad to a snake. A carpenter by trade, Darrell loved his work and using his hands to create things.
