Darrell was briefly married. He loved dancing, his farm, horses, and his very large steer, Babe. Darrell had a sense of humor and loved to tell jokes.

Darrell is survived by brothers Edwin, Giles, and Noel, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister Gloria and brother-in-law Merlin Graff; sisters-in-law: Ernestine (Sam) Roehl, Phyllis Roehl, Delores (Dee) Roehl; and an infant sister.
