He was born Sept. 23, 1955, to Carol Woodrow and Helen Juanita (Homier) Humphries in Kingfisher while the family lived in Dover. A 1973 Dover High School graduate Darrel attended El Reno Junior College and later received his bachelor’s degree at Oklahoma State University.

Darrel married the love of his life, Sherrie Lynn Pratt, June 6, 1975, and they spent the next 40 wonderful years together. While teaching and coaching, Darrel received his master’s degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

In 2007, he returned to Duke as the principal and athletic director until his health began to fail in 2014.

He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant daughter, Christy Lynn Humphries; his father-in-law, Delbert Pratt, his brother-in-law, Ronnie Pratt.
