Darrell attended school in Driggs, and graduated from Teton High School. He also spent some time at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. He was a voracious reader and was always studying. He was knowledgeable about many things. He was a real storehouse of knowledge.

Darrell and his father were avid "rock hounds" and he and his brothers & nephews went rock hunting many times. They found many wonderful specimens of jade, agate, petrified wood, etc. They cut, polished and made these rocks into beautiful jewelry of all kinds. They also sliced & polished and put these beautiful specimens into fireplaces and home entry ways. These were always so beautiful.
