July 18, 1968 - February 5, 2017
It is with great sorrow that the family of Darrell Wardrope announce his passing on February 5, 2017. After a brave and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, Darrell leaves behind his wife Tracey and two daughters, Ashley and Tala.
Darrell will always be remembered as a loving husband and father, a caring brother and son and the uncle every child wanted. He was a man who would always put his family first and give the shirt off his back for his buddies. On the weekends, you could find Darrell in his shop working on one of his many classic cars, drinking a “Captain” while camping at The Hideaway, or spending endless nights at Saratoga Speedway fulfilling one of his greatest passions.
The family would like to send specials thanks to Dr. Prinsloo of Dogwood Medical Center, the nursing staff of the Cancer Care Center, the Paulsen Family, the Stevenson Family, the Pinto family, the MidLite family and all family and friends who have shown love and support during this time.
Although everyone’s generosity and support is appreciated, the family have requested private time to grieve. A Celebration of Life for Darrell will be held on February 25th at Oyster Bay Resort from 3:00-5:00pm.
