Darryl passed away at home in Victoria, BC on December 17, 2016 after a lengthy battle with ALS. Darryl was born in Redvers, SK on June 1, 1953. Predeceased by his mother, Carol and father, Gord; Darryl is survived by his wife, Melie; sisters Margo and Dixie; daughter, Rhea; son, Darwin; and his close and loving extended family and friends.
Darryl first stepped into a uniform at a young age as a Navy League Cadet and went on to proudly serve as an officer in the RCN from April 1975 until no longer able due to illness in April 2009. Starting out as a watch keeping officer initially, it was an opportunity to switch to a Naval Software Specialist Officer that truly fired his passion. Over Darryl’s 34-year naval career, he served in Halifax and Esquimalt, as well as Naval Headquarters’ Detachment Toronto.
Sadly, ALS denied Darryl some of his dreams but an unwavering spirit and a determined group of caregivers ensured that he saw his children reach adulthood.
Please join us at a service honouring Darryl’s life at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. There will be a viewing at noon, followed by a service commencing at 1:00 pm.
Kindly consider making a contribution to the ALS Society in remembrance of Darryl.

Although it has been many years since I last talked with Darryl, I did not even know he was ill. He was a great acquaintance along with those whom we managed to hang around, Phil labossiere, EDD King, Spencer Massie, sorry for loosing contact. Hope that you are now in a better place. Sincerely
