He was born in Wayne County, Ohio on July 9, 1945 to Noah Allen and Viola Mast Beyeler.

Darrell helped people that needed it by working behind the scenes. He volunteered at the local food bank and helped with the upkeep at his church. He enjoyed ping pong, softball, chess, spending time outdoors, traveling and listening to music.

Darrell made sure everyone he met was treated with respect. He put love and determination into everything he did. His philosophy was “Take the time to do it right the first time”.
