Darrell Wayne Eastman was the kindest, most intelligent, patient and resilient person I've ever had the pleasure to know. He taught me how to swing on a swing set at the park, how to butter my bread, how to draw and paint, and play basketball, ping pong, and poker... but most importantly, he taught us what love was, what it is supposed to be, how people are supposed to be, and he showed us the strength and resilience I  didn't know I'd need. My brother and I spent the majority of our time growing up at our Grandfather's (Darrell's) house, watching movies, going to parks, and learning about life. He taught us to be good people, to be kind, and he showed us true strength and true unconditional love.
My Grandfather (or "G" as we lovingly call him) served as a SN in the US Navy during Vietnam, attended college and became an accountant, and loved spending time with his family out camping, hunting, fishing, or riding dirt bikes. He was a skilled basketball player, ice skater, surfer, and artist as well as the best Grandpa, best friend, and role model you could ever ask for. He was always there for us whenever we needed him, whether it was 3pm or 3am. He'd listen without judging, make you laugh, and somehow always make you feel okay. He was our best friend and our guidance, always there for us no matter what. He was our solace and serenity much like the North Star. We miss you so much! We truly are lost without you, G.
With Love, Always,
Your Grandchildren Cody and Jessica Timmons and your great grand daughter Taylor. 

Dear Annamarie and Eastman family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is also hard for us to lose a friend of our youth.  My family moved to Twin after my father retired from the NAVY after a career on the East Coast.  My sisters and I found Twin Falls difficult.  We didn't know anyone. Then my sister and I happened to go to the skating ring.  We meet Darrell and his friends. Everything changed.  We had so much fun there.  I don't how many Saturday nights we spent there, but it was quite a few.  Whereas I occasionally ran into Darrell, and he even sold me used violins for my kids, I will always remember Darrell as a 16 year old with a glib sense of humor and a DA haircut.  Again your loss is our loss also.  
Respectfully, Arlene (Urie) Sommer

So sorry for your loss. Darrell was a nice person

Sandra Kidwell Allen
