Uncle, I don’t know where to even start... some of the fondest memories I have as a kid were shared with you. You taught me so much about horses. When you were breaking Seminole I was just learning to ride and we rode nearly everyday. I remember you had this welsh pony you were breaking for someone and you had me ride it back down the road and you were gonna drive behind me well the pony had other plans and took off running through aunt Peggy and uncle mervins yard and all I can remember is you yelling at me to jump off so I bailed off and the horse kept going! I remember when you first got Vicki’s big boy and brought him to our barn and you and dad had me start legging him back up. The bruises on my legs from that little jockey saddle were all worth it when  y’all were in the winners circle taking that picture. You taught me so many life lessons and impacted my life more then you will ever know and I will forever be grateful for it. I love you unc and this isn’t goodbye this is until we meet again. Rest easy dickle give granny and uncle luey and uncle Dave a big hug and kiss for me!

 Such a fun & loving Person,,, i am very proud to have known Darrell, he seemed to always be there when i needed him, or needed advice.... His smile and charisma  was next to none....
  I will miss my friend, but I shall keep his memory with me until i see him again....
  God,, please be with the family & friends....

Uncle, I can never express how much you have impacted my life. Thinking back when we were growing up you were always a big part of our lives, bloody bones and shiney eyes will always be remembered! Our long talks on mawmaws porch about life were the best, I'm so glad my son got to meet you and he will forever remember uncle  dickle playing with him. Fly high my angel!! Tell daddy granny and uncle Larry we miss them so much.

There are truly no words that could ever measure up what you’ve done for me, my children, and my family or the life lessons, skills, joy, and love you brought in our lives and for those moments I will be forever grateful ♥️ From teaching my son to ride a bike, bounce a basketball, ride a horse, drive a tractor, potty train, tie a shoe.. list goes on and countless times of keeping my children for me I could never have imagined how you would come into our lives and make such an impact. You will truly be missed Paw.  As we are deeply saddened we know you are no longer suffering and that you are in a better place. Until we are all together again we love you Paw fly high and watch over us. 
     Love,
      Jaimee, Haygen, & Mia

It is aways so sad when we lose  someone we love.  Thanks for sharing the pictures  may he live forever in your hearts.  Our family wants you to know that all our prayers and good thoughs are with you,  He was lucky to have such a great family to share his life
 with.

Such a caring person he will truly be missed 

I really don't know where to begin because you were always such a huge part of life from the very beginning. I will miss you terribly. You were not just my uncle, you were my friend, my husband's best friend, my brother, and my childrens UNCLE.  I remember you thumping us behind our ears, you borrowing our cars and me borrowing yours, hauling me and Mike around to the Rodeo's and teaching us to be the best, teaching us how to ride, you ruining my round bed by sleeping in the middle by making a dent in it and me having to sleep with Vic cause that was your bed, teaching us to dance, hanging out when I grew up and got married, roping with Denny and David and being the best UNCLE to Kel and Denny , being Denny's best friend and taking up the slack after David passed, crying with me and telling me everything is gonna be ok after David died. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE! Fly high Uncle! Hug Granny for me and tell David I still miss him as much as I did when he left me.
