Darrell was born March 14, 1961, he grew up in Regina being the youngest of 4. He loved working with his hands and would often be found in the garage tinkering around on a vehicle. Darrell was definitely a master of all trades; often telling his family, “if I can’t fix it, then it can’t be fixed!”, and he was often right. At the age of 17, Darrell had met the love of his life Donna, purely by chance. They instantly fell in love and were married July 29, 1983. Darrell and Donna were devoted foster parents for 26 years. They opened up both their hearts and their homes to over 300 children throughout the years. Apart from being an amazing father, he became an even more amazing grandfather and adored showing off his grandchildren.
While our hearts mourn this loss, we take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. The love he gave and the memories created will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
In keeping with Darrell’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. Instead, the family will be holding a celebration of life, taking place at the Regina Eastview Community Centre, 615 6th Avenue, Regina, SK on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.
