My condolensces to the family and loved ones. I knew Darrett in high school. I'm guessing he hasn't gone by "Woody" in a long time but that's how alot of us knew him and he was so great. He always brought energy, positivity and fun to our high school experience. God bless.

Darrett was an amazing tribute to how we should treat each other. He had an unbelievable way of remembering small things and always called you by name. He remembered my husband and my children after only meeting them briefly. What an art! He had the most beautiful smile and welcomed all to the hospital food service. He will be missed.

Darrett's light shined so brightly. His impact was felt in the way he shined authentic kindness and concern onto all he met. He lived God's love in action and had a servant's heart. Darrett welcomed every opportunity to make his love be felt. I will never forget his smile and positive energy. My heart is heavy and saddened for his family. What a blessing he was to so many and his legacy will never be forgotten here at UnityPoint.

Sending my sincerest condolences to Darrett's family. I met Darrett at work. I enjoyed every day at lunch when I got to see him. He would give me a big grin and greeting; " Grease is the one" and then "Hey, Sandra Dee" always made my day a little brighter! A very special guy, and he will be greatly missed.
