He enjoyed traveling with his family and friends, which his favorite places being Smokey Mountains, Pigeon Forge and any beach. He loved the beach and every visit he would be the first one up walking the beach and searching for shells. He always did have a good eye and could spot four-leaf clovers all the time. Darrell's hobbies included wood working, taking bike rides with family, volunteering at church and working in his yard.
Darrell will always be remembered with a smile on his face. He loved making people laugh and had an adventurous side always excited to try new things like ziplining and parasailing. He had quite the compassionate side. No matter what any family member needed he was willing to offer a helping hand even after a long day's work.
