CAMPBELL,
Darryl A.
(Age 71)

Darryl passed away suddenly May 17th, 2012 due to a massive stroke.

Born January 10th, 1941, he resided in Spokane his entire life except for his time in the Navy where he was stationed in Japan.

Darryl was employed at Kaiser Mead for 22 years.

He enjoyed many years of building and driving his 1933 Chevy Coupe.

He was a member of the Dukes Auto Club, Street Tin and Draggins Race Team and cherished the many friendships he made through racing and street rods.

When his health prevented him from the many car adventures, Darryl then found and enjoyed playing poker several times a week where he developed many more great friendships.

Darryl is survived by his wife Nancy, son Jeff (Maria), daughter Lori, grandaughters (his lovebugs) Amanda and Sarah, grandson Brandon, Sister Darleen (Frank) Carlson, Aunt Barbara Weed and several neices, nephews and cousins.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, May 26th, 2012 at Colbert Presbyterian Church at 1:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, any memorial gifts may be sent to New Hope Resource Center or charity of choice.
