Darrell graduated from Summersville High School in 1964, Missouri State University with a degree in Industrial Arts in 1968, and followed later with a masters degree from Drury University. He taught briefly in Cabool. He first used his education to build houses in the Houston area. Later, he opened Shriver Companies Cabinet Shop which he expanded to include general contracting. His interests included keeping every piece of old car, truck, and farming equipment he ever owned, running a car dealership in Springfield, and putting up hay on his farm. Darrell's first love, however, was farming. He began farming with his dad Norman and expanded his farming with his family throughout his life. Darrell managed his cattle with the help of his wife Martha who knows all the names of the hundreds of cows on land extending from Springfield to Summersville. He worked with his son Carey Dean and daughter-in-law Valirea in the multi-business operation.
Despite Darrell’s busy life he always made time for his children and grandchildren. When he wasn't working, he loved singing, playing the piano, and entertaining his six grandsons and two granddaughters. Darrell and his wife Martha belonged to Nagle Christian Church, Tyrone, Missouri. He will be missed by all his family and friends.
