Individual Details
Darryl William Corrigall
(7 Mar 1955 - 28 Sep 2014)
Simply, the Best!
After amazing all of us with his positive approach to his cancer diagnosis in January 2012 and his subsequent determination to live as normally as possible, Darryl left us peacefully, at home, in a room filled with love on Sunday, September 28, 2014. Born to Alan and Claire Corrigall on March 7, 1955, the family lived in Union Bay until moving to Honeymoon Bay in 1963. Darryl moved to Victoria after graduating from Lake Cowichan High School and commenced his 40 year career in the automotive industry with the final 13 years spent with Jenner Chevrolet as Director of Fixed Operations. He was blessed with an enduring love for his wife Lylla, their four children, Deana (Jake), Cheri (Keagan), Robin (Chris) and Cody (Erica) and his adored grandchildren Damien, Abbey, Keanah, Andi, Darryl & Haillie. He also enjoyed profound satisfaction in joining the Colwood Volunteer Fire Department. He was an affable man, always happy to be in the conversation, but never needing to lead it, and had a genuine smile that always reached his eyes and his heart. We give heartfelt thanks to all of the family, friends and coworkers that have offered such love, support and kind words throughout his life, and most especially during these last few months as things got more difficult for him. There are not words to thank all those in the health care system that we encountered in this 3 year journey, to name any would risk leaving someone out, so to all of you, our warmest possible gratitude. We are a large family left to remember all of the memories that he helped to create; Sisters Gail (Ron) and Lynn (Mike), sadly pre-deceased in 2013 by brother Neil (Gail). He will also be missed by Mother- in- law Helen Nebbeling and sister- in- laws Ella-Lynn, Gay (Rik) and Shannon (Ed) and treasured nieces and nephews and their families. Service will be held on October 6, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. at the Langford Legion, 761 Station Ave. Langford, B.C. Please, no flowers. If you wish, a donation in remembrance of Darryl to your favourite charity would be most appreciated.
