Darrell Kirk Lucas of Wichita, Kansas, went to be with our Heavenly Father on Wednesday June 7, 2023, at the age of 65. He was born the second of four boys on September 8, 1957, in Wichita, Kansas to Thomas and Vivian (Pierce) Lucas. His childhood was filled with shenanigans with his brothers and friends on West 18th Street.
He graduated from Butler Community College with a degree in Fire Science. After completing college Darrell became a firefighter, serving the Wichita Fire department for over 20 years.
He met the love of his life, Sue Getz, in Scottsdale, Arizona when visiting his brother in 1986. They were joined in holy matrimony on April 4, 1987. They had the joy and pleasure of raising their three children in Maize, Kansas.
Darrell often spent his free time remodeling and fixing things for his loved ones. He enjoyed gardening, repairing antique radios, and playing with his three grandchildren. He enjoyed celebrating the Fourth of July and making his loved ones laugh through practical jokes.
Darrell was passionate about his faith in Jesus and sharing the Gospel with his family and friends through his words and acts of service.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Vivian Lucas and his brother, Brad (Big B) Lucas.
