Obituary:
Darrell sadly passed on January 31st 2022 at the age of 80 in Exeter CA with family by his side, after a long, strong battle with cancer. Darrell was born on November 1, 1941 in Porterville, Ca to his parents Clovis and Ruth Byars. He was a very strong man up until the very end. He found humor wherever possible. If you knew Darrell, you know his sarcasm and jokes brought us all funny memories and treasures to hold with us and smile. Darrell loved farming; it was truly what brought him joy, to be out in his trees and visiting his cows. Until the end of his battle, he liked to go out to his ranches and care for the farm. He leaves behind his soulmate and the true love of his life, Connie Purdin Byars. She was his everything and enjoyed their marriage of 57 years, He also leaves behind his sister Norma Brewer, his three daughters Kimberly Holm (Lane), Jennifer San Sebastian (Aaron), and Heather Freitas (Mike), His grandchildren David Haas Jr.(Cristina), Karissa Rios (Bryan), Nicholas Byars, Cody Skiles (Aubrey), Cori Guillemin (Clayton), Gage San Sebastian (Brooke), Chase San Sebastian(Rachel), and Jeremy Freitas, and his great-grandchildren, Kaityn Rios, Molly Rios, Vivian Byars, William Guillemin, Siobhan Haas, Sean Haas, Logyn San Sebastian, and a grandson, Grayson, on the way. His children and grandchildren brought him joy and laughter. He also leaves behind his brother-in-law, Robert Purdin(Patsy) and nephew Jason Purdin(Susan), his many cousins and aunts. Darrell was one of the good ones and will be missed so much by so many. Although our hearts are broken, we know he is in heaven pain-free tending the farm and with his daughter Karen Lynn Byars.
