Darryl lived for his "6" boys, they made him so proud and happy. His life was
made for the times he was hunting and fishing with them; they were the lights of
his life. Darryl and Brenda's lives revolved around the "boys', watching them in
sports and hobbies. Daryl was an avid Fisherman and Hunter...he was doing what
he loved most.
Daryl began his 34 year coaching career at Binger,Oklahoma in 1970, from there
he moved to Oney, Sterling, Taloga, Reydon and Texoma, Oklahoma. He had many
honors in his coaching career, among those was the Northfork All Star Coach,
Shiners All Star Coach 270 All Star Coach, Comanche County All Star Ciach,
Hi-Plains Conference All Star Coach, Northwest Regional Coach of the year,
Southwest Coach of the year, All State defense Coach Small West and others too
numerous to mention. Darryl coached the very first All State softball game ever
played in Oklahoma. Among his greatest achievements he was induced into the
Oklahoma Girls Coaching Hall of Fame in 2006.
Honors were not what Darryl lived for, to see his students grow and to reach
their fullest potential made him the happiest and proudest.
Every one that knew Darryl knew he was a kind, caring, loving and generous man
and he will be greatly missed by every one whose life he touched.
We know Darryl is celebrating in Heaven on the banks of a river or looking for
quail today with one of his best friends, Leldon Harrison.
