Big D was always the life of the party with a quick wit and unique sense of humor that he gifted to everyone, even in the most difficult of times.  He was a loving confidant to his many friends and loved ones, quietly giving of his time, wisdom and resources to anyone in need, often without recognition.  He was a proud Tennessean, in love with the natural beauty that lends itself to fishing, camping, and various other outdoor activities that he loved so well.  Daryl's first love was music before he could even walk, adoring the artistry of so many talented musicians from the Appalachian hills to every corner of the world.  He will be greatly missed by the numerous family and friends that adored him.

The family will be receiving friends at Holley-Gamble Funeral Home in Clinton, TN on Tuesday August 28, 2018 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM.
