Predeceased by his infant son, Darrell Robert, his father Everett Callender, his mother Irma Yelverton, his sister Margaret, and his mother-in-law Alma Ray. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

He had quite a following of people whose lives he touched by building or welding something or by his endless jokes and story telling. He will be missed by us all. His wife and children adored him, and were by his side until God called him home.

The family would like to especially thank all of his Heart of Hospice "angels" who were so loving and caring for him at home, especially Nancy, Jessica, and Regan, and his special care giver, Stephanie Wade.
