Darrell was a real gentleman & an Asset to Keith Cearley.
So sorry Brenda.
What a kind and gentle-man! Peace to your hearts.
Ann Wilson Applegate (junior high friend)
We have shared countless happy moments and warm memories with Darrell and Diane over the past eight years in both of our homes. It seems unfair and impossible that we will not experience new ones. We will no longer have dinner together nearly every Sunday evening, as we shared the events of the preceding week, discussed current topics, told funny grandchild stories or compared mischievous pet activities. We are grateful for all the blessings and happy memories the came with knowing him.
Darrell was one of the good guys. Having known him as a close friend of our family because of his relationship to Diane, I remember many fun times together when I visited Little Rock through the years; and I always looked forward to seeing him and Annie at the weekly Sunday evening suppers as well as at many other holiday occasions and birthday parties. Here are some photos—just a few moments from all those good times! Darrell, you will be missed! “May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” xoxo Deepest condolences to Darrell’s loved ones.
Darrell brought so many smile to the childern of Easterseals Arkansas.

Thank you from Pet Partners HQ to Darrell's family for his wonderful work in the community with Annie Sue at his side.
Uncle Darrell was great great man. So kind, genuine and honest. I'm sorry I hadn't gotten to see him as much over the last several years. My condolences to all my Arkansas family.
What a joy it has been to know this gentleman. Having known him through shared relatives, Jimmy and Christine Hale. Lots of good visits and gatherings over the years at family get togethers for occasions, both happy and sad. He has always been friendly, personable and like family all these years. He will be missed by family and friend alike. May memories sustain you during this time of sorrow and ease the burden on your hearts. He is never farther away than a thought. How comforting to know he is with Brenda again and both are in the arms of God. So sorry for your loss.
