I am so sad to hear of Darryl's passing. He was a hard worker but always had time to lend a hand. For years he was a main stay in the Lloyd Mall. He knew how to get a smile out of you even if it was a busy day. Thank you Darryl for all you did.

Uncle Darrell I remember when I was little you along with my Dad were larger than life and invincible in my eyes. When you were around I knew I was safe and protected. I think you must have picked up the fact that I was a chicken shit about pretty much everything and needed someone to protect me and make me feel safe. Every family gathering guaranteed I got a reprieve from 4 older brothers and got to go with you guys and hang out with Carrie and play Barbie’s. “Little” Darrell would hang out too but he wasn’t as fond of the Barbie’s or make believe as we were. Then we met Auntie Verna and Kathy and soon became close. I gained a couple of best buddies that happened to be family. Fast forward a few years and Bailey came along. You were so good with kids and although initially Bailey was leery of you (could have been your size or your way of sizing people up without saying anything) although, it didn’t take her long to figure out your heart was the biggest thing about you!! By the time Brooklyn and Brianna were here you soon became the Super Great Uncle Darrell. My girls adored you!! From the countless hours of tickles, laughs, movies, endless candy, shopping sprees and sleepovers at your house. They even had special backpacks from You and Auntie Verna. Every year they got special gifts and Pajama’s or an outfit and they loved the way your house was decorated at Christmas time (we all know it was Auntie Verna’s specialty but you lit up as bright as her decorations during that season). It couldn’t have been more special with my girly girls to have their Uncle work at the mall and take them there whenever they asked. To some you might have looked like you had a rough exterior but to me and my girls you had the heart and interior parallel to that of a soft melt in your hand M&M chocolate. I personally think Auntie and Kathy had a lot to do with that melting. I wish I would have had the courage to reminisce with you and tell you how grateful I was for you and Auntie and everything you ever did for us and with us. Lots of times I thought about it and wanted to give you a big hug like when I was little or how my kids ran to you and held their arms up to you to be lifted up. They knew they would most likely get an airplane ride or a piggy back ride. Oh how amazing you were with kids!! A kid magnet…whether you wanted to admit it or not.
I love you Uncle Darrell and am thankful to have these memories of you. You will forever have your own special place in my heart.

Verna and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you all. Darrell will be missed by so many.
I have so many memories of Darrell from my childhood with Kathy. Showing up at your door to Darrell asking me what I wanted and always asking “is Kathy home?”, somedays he’d say yes and somedays he’d say no (just to mess with me). Which resulted in Kathy running down the street to catch me.
I still smile thinking about when Kathy and I put a hole in the front lawn. Darrell only disowned me for a short time before I was allowed to come back over and play. Darrell and Verna you’ve always treated me like family. You were a big part of my childhood and I’m so grateful for that! Rest in peace Darrell!

Our hearts ache for you Verna, and your family but especially for our grand babies. His love for those kids was so apparent, his smile would light up his face when they were around him. Not sure there was anything he wouldn't do for them, hockey games, dance and music rectitals, artistic swimming, fishing, camping...and the list goes on and on. He was kind and gentle, they'll miss sitting on his knee. I know his passing has left a hole in all. You are all our family and we love you so much!

One of my favourite amongst many memories with my uncle Darrell, is when he used to pretend to throw me and my sister over the railing above the stairs. We would run to the living room, and he would inevitably catch us and we’d do the process again. He would tease us (lovingly of course) and pretend to drop us over the railing, although we knew he never would, but it was fun to pretend and play. Some of my other favourite memories with him, was when he would take my sister and I to his office in the mall (we felt so sneaky) and we could watch all of the security cameras with him, or when he would take us to Claire’s and he would let us pick out our tiaras and lipstick, or when he bought us our very own princess fishing rods to teach us how to fish. We could also always count on there being the best snacks waiting for us whenever visiting Uncle Darrell and Auntie Verna’s house. I love you Uncle. Thank you for some of my best childhood memories.

I will miss you and I’m greatful for everything and all the support you always gave me. Everyone who knew you would approach me and tell me how much you always talked about me and my kids. I will always remember how amazing of a Papa you were to my kids. Spoiled rotten they were with you. Rest easy Dad. I’ll take care of mom.
