Darrell was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on September 8, 1956. He grew up in Lee’s Summit and graduated from Lee’s Summit High School in 1974.

He loved spending time watching sports, all sports, but especially the KC Chiefs. His hobby of buying, selling, and trading turned into a lifelong passion. He had a contagious fun spirit, his outgoing personality and the ability to talk to anyone that would listen will forever be missed.
