"Darrell was a United States Navy Veteran and Retiree having served with the USS Coral Sea (CV-43), USS Saratoga (CV-60), USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), USS Deyo (DD-989), and USS Stump (DD-978). He saw combat action in the Gulf of Sidra and during Operation El Dorado Canyon.

He was a lifetime member of VFW Post 4411 in Franklin, Virginia where he served as the Jr Vice Commander. He later went on to work for several government contractors continuing his service to our great country and fellow Armed Forces members ensuring the safety and ability to return home to loved ones. He taught and mentored young hunters through volunteering as an instructor for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources Basic Hunting Education Classes."
