I went through high school with Darryl. We have been in contact off and on for 60 years. Sorry he suffered so much pain the last few years. He kept in close contact with God and wasn't hesitant about that fact either. I know he will be rewarded for that. Bless his memory and his family. Duane Hedahl, Class of 1949

Mr. Eakle was a kind and loving man. He worked very hard and was loved by all. He loved is children and grandchildren with all his heart. He was always interested in what others had to say. He loved our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and is now with Him in eternity. I praise God that I knew this wonderful and gentle man.
