Darrell Lynn Andrews

Darrell Lynn Andrews, 70 years old, of Casper, Wyoming, passed away January 21, 2025, at Wyoming Medical Center.

Darrell was born in Wheatland, Wyoming to Bernard and Mary Andrews. The family lived in various places in Wyoming and finally settled in Casper, where Darrell lived until his passing.

Darrell graduated from Kelly Walsh High School in 1974. He worked at Safeway, and Red Lobster until his retirement.

It did not take a lot to make Darrell happy. Simple things brought him a lot of joy. He loved spending time with family, and holidays were a favorite time. Darrell had a good sense of humor about most things and loved a good/bad joke and was very prone to smiling.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling, ceramics, and other hobbies. He loved visiting with family and friends.

He is survived by sister-in-law, Laurie Andrews (Gary) of Cody, Wyoming, his brother Larry (Connie) of Spearfish, South Dakota, Howard (Kathy) of Casper, and Robert (Nodjaha) of Lincoln, Nebraska, and sister, Mary Lou Andrews of Casper, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Mary Andrews, his brother, Gary Andrews, his grandparents, and numerous cousins.

We would especially like to thank Linda and her wonderful staff of RCR Inspirations for their kind and dedicated care of Darrell over the many years of his residency. They have thoughtfully shared some of their memories of Darrell:

"Darrell joined us at RCR Inspirations in 2014, quickly becoming a much-loved RCR family member.
Darrell loved attending all of our parties and helping to plan them as well. Darrell loved dances and social
events where he would see many old friends. Darrell knew everyone and loved to visit. Darrell spent
many summer days at Alcova riding around the lake on the pontoon boat with his friends. It was always
a perfect place to relax and to have a big picnic. Darrell enjoyed his food and was always up for a good
BBQ. Darrell spent as much time as possible in his garden and had an exceptional green thumb. He
loved to watch his garden grow and told us daily how big his squash and sunflowers were getting. He
enjoyed bringing his veggies from the garden to share with his friends. Darrell enjoyed regaling his
friends with his life's adventures and road trips up and down the coast. He used to jokingly say that he
was a passenger on the Titanic and loved a good joke and a good laugh. He enjoyed concerts and going
to the rodeo. Darrell enjoyed all children and always had a smile for them and a big hello."

We would also like to thank the ER attendants and 5th floor doctors and nurses at Wyoming Medical Center for their excellent and compassionate care of Darrell and family.

A memorial service will be planned to honor Darrell at a later date.
