Godspeed Darrell,
Although I only knew you for a relatively short period of time, the moments we spent together were full of joy and laughter. Family time with the Grands and moments of shared happiness. I recall you teasing the hospital staff during a medical visit where I was you’re your designated driver back home. You had them all in stitches!! You definitely lived your life to the fullest and I hope that your children remember the good times and fond memories in spite of their loss. You were quite the character and the “Freezer Cow” story is one of the funniest anecdotes I have ever heard…a true teaching moment for your children and I hope someone will bring it up in your eulogy?! May you enjoy the afterword as much as you enjoyed this world!
My heartfelt condolences, love y’all, Tim Ruble.
So sorry for your loss, he will be missed by his childhood friends and family also.
I will see you again when my chores are through my friend.

I thank Our Lord for crossing our paths oh so many many years ago. We tore up job sites like no others. We ran, worked, sweated, froze, bleed & made memories that will last a lifetime.

Krazy with a K. Will definitely miss u. Catch u on the other side!!!
