Darryl graduated from Essex Catholic high school in 1967, and went on to earn his associates degree in college in computer programming.

He served in the US Airforce for a total of four years, where he gained a lifelong brother in arms, Scott Walter. Darryl has two daughters, Jennifer Lynn Kirisits, born in 1974, and Kimberly Ann Goldbeck, born in 1981. Darryl was a devoted and loyal family man. His last occupation was a systems operator at the Walmart DC, in Johnstown, NY. He loved all of his animals, especially his dog, Boots. He loved life, and had an affinity for fishing, guns, tattoos, his Harley, crafting, and model building, handiwork, and boating. He was always willing to help others. He was a member of the VFW, and NRA. Darryl is survived by his mother, Grace; his wife, Betty; daughters, Jennifer & Kimberly, his son-in-law, Donald; grandchildren, Zach, Jessica, & Emily; his brothers, Richard & Brian; his sisters, Jayne & Gracie, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He will be sorely missed here on Earth, as he enters Heaven to greet his recently departed father, Clarence and sister-in-law, Nancy.
