Darrell Gene enjoyed life and tried to make the most of it. He had such a sweet smile and seemed to love and know everyone. He also endured a lot of heartache with the passing of his mother and brother who he loved so much and often shared memories and sorrow. Darrell had an excellent memory. He loved all music and movies and had collected so much over the years. He loved the OKC Thunder. He loved getting jerseys and going to the games. He made a lot of knitted place mats of his favorite player’s names. He loved to call on the phone and recently loved calling with FaceTime. He loved looking at pictures. He loved his birthday, he would let you know right after his birthday and continually through the year what day of the week his next birthday would be on and how old he would be. He loved getting presents and being with family. He called a lot of people his brothers and sisters. He was so excited to see his new nephew Ephram and was so proud to be called Uncle Darrell.
