So sorry for your loss! I have so many memories of Darrell from when I was growing up, from the sawmill with dad to helping with the horses. We couldn't have asked for better friends and neighbors. Darrell we sure are going to miss you! Vicky Diamond and Family & Linda Hatcher

Oh Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about this. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Very sorry to hear of Darrel's passing. You are truly a very special family. Patty Weeks and Family

We played a lot when we were kids. A wonderful first cousin. He will be missed by all.

Darrel was my best buddy all 12 years of school. I always looked forward to seeing him when I came to see my family in Floyd. I haven't been to Floyd for five years so we talked on the phone. Sure gonna miss him but I know I will see him again when Jesus calls me home.

So sorry for your loss, our Love and Prayers, are with all of you.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I will surely miss Darrell. I was fortunate enough to be able to see him the day before he passed. He will be surely missed.

Sorry for your loss, know God has another angel.
