Darrel Duane Evans (Mr. Wonderful) 87, passed away peacefully on October 21, 2022 in Lincoln, CA after a long battle with COPD & Emphysema. He was born on September 17, 1935 in Morristown, MN to parents Roy and Mildred Evans. He married the love of his life, Valeria Jean Kendrick in November of 1957 after completing his service in the U.S. Navy.
Darrel is survived by his daughter Victoria and her husband Rick of Olympia, WA; son Daniel and his wife Tracy of Lincoln, CA; his grandchildren Sasha, Anna, Dustin, Zachary, brothers Orlo and Bruce, sister Janette and many close friends and family.
He was preceded in death by his Soul Mate Valeria, his parents Roy and Mildred, his brothers, Ronald and Roger, and his sister Beverly.
Darrel was known as an avid 49er fan from all the way back to the Kezar Stadium days (Val was a Raider fan which led to years of jabs based on how each others team was doing at the time). He loved his family, but most of all he loved his wife. He would do anything for her. No sacrifice was to great. Even though his COPD stripped him of his mobility and independence, he still was able to share his special gift, that he was always more than willing to give till the day he died, “Sarcasm”. His spirit, heart, never ending supply of one liners and sarcastic wit will be greatly missed
The funeral will be a private (and Punctual as required by Darrel) ceremony with only close family and friends present. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the COPD Foundation (https://www.copdfoundation.org) or your favorite charity in his name.
