Donald J. Darnall
February 1, 1934 — January 3, 2017
Donald James "Don" Darnall, 82, of Glenrock, Wyoming went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2017.
Don was born in Rush Springs, Oklahoma on February 1st, 1934 to Ralph and Vera Darnall. As a child, he moved to Casper and then graduated from Natrona County High School in 1953. He married Jacqueline Link in 1954, after meeting her the very last day of his senior year. After starting a family Don moved to Glenrock in 1964, where he resided the rest of his life.
Don was an employee of Standard Oil for 8 years, worked as a Casper police officer for a few years, and then worked at the Dave Johnson Plant for Pacific Power for 32 years until retiring in 1996. He was a lifelong sportsman, avidly fishing and hunting from the American Southwest to the Norwest Territories of Canada. Don was known for his mechanical knowledge, and tinkered in his shop while offering his expertise to anyone in need. He kept an immaculate lawn and loved to grow tomatoes. His handshake was considered his word.
Don spent much of his time with his family and playing with his grandkids. Don's love for the Lord was apparent to everyone who knew him. He served as a member of the board of both Faith and First Assemblies of God in Casper. He was the State Director for Honor Bound Men's Ministries and met with his local Promise Keepers group in Glenrock for decades.
He is preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Vera Darnall; his son-in-law and daughter John and Darla (Darnall) Luft; and his nephews Matthew Darnall and Randy Hubbell.
He is survived by his wife Jacqueline (Link) Darnall; his children and their spouses: Dan and Sherri (Richards) Darnall; Marty and Valerie (Darnall) Leischer; the children of his late daughter whom he raised and their spouses: Justin and Trisha (Robey) Luft; Ben and Andrea (Luft) Barker; Jennifer (Luft) Donnelly; his brothers and their spouses: Ralph "Dub" and Marilyn Darnall; Richard and Sharon Darnall; six other grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; four nieces and four nephews.
A viewing will be held at Newcomer Funeral Home from 5 pm to 7 pm on Friday, January 13th. Services will be held at Faith Assembly of God in Casper at 9:30 am on Saturday, January 14th followed by burial at Highland Cemetery.
