Darrell Richardson, 72, of Mountain View, Arkansas passed from this life on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was born January 1, 1952, to Lonnie and Annie (Cain) Richardson in Mountain View, Arkansas.
Darrell was a lifelong farmer in the Signal Hill Community where he raised cows and chickens on the over hundred-year-old Richardson Homestead. He worked at the Townsend chicken plant in Batesville for several years, an experience which made him forbid his kids from ever having chicken nuggets.
Darrell enjoyed listening to bluegrass and folk music on the square with his dad. He loved taking his kids camping, hunting, and fishing. He treasured the time spent with them creating countless memories. Darrell never met a stranger as anyone who knew him could tell you. He always had a kind word, a smile, and often a witty comment or two to start or keep a conversation going with everyone. Darrell was also a volunteer fireman, and he was very active in the local scout troop teaching them to appreciate the outdoors, how to start campfires with pine knots, cook over an open fire, and paddle a swamped canoe.
Left to cherish his memory are his two sons; Brant Richardson (Amanda) and Daniel Richardson; one daughter, Jennifer Brinkman (Grant); and three grandchildren, April Brinkman, Rebecka, and Tank along with numerous loving friends and family members.
Darrell is preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife of 17 years, Carrol (Daker) Richardson; son, Kurt Richardson; sister, Patsy Goins; stepmother, Dora Richardson; and step-sister, Dora Ann Wroblewski.
