Condolences

Lydia Thiessen:

My sincere condolences to all the family! I have met Darrel briefly several years ago and always felt that he was a special. Every long conversation Marion and I had, Darrel would come up in our our conversation. The love, devotion, crazy, but funny things, Darrel would say were special to Marion, which will never be forgotten. I love that he enjoyed his life to the fullest, and sad that Kae and their baby girl will have to go through life without Darrel's presence. I am sure memories of Darrel will be kept alive forever.

Richard Schultz:

I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Darrel. We shared so many memories growing up school days, weekends riding ATVs, and just being kids without a care in the world. You were such a big part of my life back then, and those memories still bring a smile to my face.

After years apart, I’m so grateful we got the chance to reconnect recently. Catching up, reminiscing, and sharing a few laughs about the old days it meant more to me than I can put into words. I never imagined it would be the last time we’d talk.

Even with all the time and distance between us, you always held a place in my heart. Thank you for the friendship, the adventures, and the memories I’ll carry with me forever. Rest easy, my friend you’ll always be remembered.
