In loving memory of Darrell David Boyer, a vibrant soul who departed peacefully surrounded by family on Friday, February 9th, 2024, at the age of 72. Born on October 29th, 1951, in Houston, TX, Darrell's journey was one marked by love, passion, and a deep commitment to family and faith.

Settling in The Woodlands area after college, Darrell dedicated almost his entire life to the community he cherished. A sports enthusiast, he excelled in football, waterskiing, basketball, and his beloved tennis, boasting a serve that would challenge the greatest tennis legends. Beyond his personal pursuits, Darrell found joy in coaching his son's baseball teams and creating countless memories playing ball with them. He also loved biking through The Woodlands racing his boys with his daughter on the back of his bike all the while. His love for fishing and camping provided solace and adventure in the years following his 30-year career in car sales, where he flourished because of his charisma and love of striking up a conversation with anybody.

Darrell's unwavering faith in Jesus Christ served as the cornerstone of his life. A devoted member of The Woodlands Methodist Church, he attended services with his beloved wife, Leslie, and their family. His commitment to Christ laid the foundation for the strong values and deep spirituality evident in his children and grandchildren.

Darrell is preceded in death by his loving parents, Barbara Boyer and Gerald Boyer.
