Darl married Lou Ann Seifert on October 8, 1954, in the Salt Lake Temple. They built the family home in Roy with assistance of Otto Seifert and completed it in 1959. Darl loved the home they built and lived in the home until his passing. Lou Ann was the love of his life for 50 years. He became a widower on February 3, 2004, when Lou Ann lost her battle with cancer. He liked to tell everyone that “Lou Ann was the cream of the crop.” Together they raised a daughter Linda, and a son Brent, that accompanied them on all boating, camping, and snowmobiling/ATV adventures.

He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Roy 2nd Ward. He served in many capacities from counselor to Bishop. He enjoyed speaking and being on the High Council.

Darl was dedicated to his family. He dearly loved his two children, ten grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren. He liked to remember all of the details of their life and chat with them about their goals and plans. He was a constant in all of their lives. He attended every football/basketball game, family gathering, or activity he could. He could tell you all their names, ages, and important details about their life. He taught and showed them how to be a man of character, integrity, strength, and fortitude. He enjoyed all the adventures of life and was always available when there was a project to be done, especially if it involved driving - oh how he loved his many Ford trucks.
