Darryl retired after 33 years of dedicated service from the Carpenter’s Union.  He was also a Business Agent for the Union, where he was a member for 40 years.  Woodworking, both professionally and personally, was a passion of his.  In his free time, he enjoyed working in his garden.  He was an avid Ohio sports fan and never missed a chance to argue sports or politics with his best friend, Jay Crawford.  His family meant the world to him, but his proudest moment was becoming a beloved Papaw to his “partner in crime”, Addison Grace.

In addition to his mother, survivors include his loving wife, Darla Sue Hinkle; children, Cody Nicholas Hinkle and wife, Samantha, and Taylor Nicole Heil and husband, Ryan; a granddaughter, Addison Grace Heil; a brother, Rodney Hinkle; his beloved dog, Brutus; among other loved ones and dear friends.
