In 1977, Darrell graduated from Crossett High School.  He played football along with running track where he set school track records and assisted his teammates in winning back-to-back state track championships. 

In 1982, he graduated from Arkansas State University with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and economics.  After twelve years managing Wal-Mart stores, he joined with First National Bank of Crossett, and began Link Investment Company.

Darrell was a people person, he loved helping others manage their financial futures through investing.  He also stayed active in the community as a Crossett Rotarian, a Chamber of Commerce member, and recently was appointed by Governor Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Spinal Cord Commission.

Darrell was a clock enthusiast who enjoyed listening to the blues and telling stories.  He enjoyed making others laugh but never hesitated to tell others about Jesus. 

He was compelled to become a Gideon and spread the gospel wherever he could go.  His suffering and misfortunes in life would not define him.  They would only make his testimony stronger.  He never complained, and when asked how he was, he always replied, “better than I deserve”.

He is preceded in death by his father, Glynn Loveless and father-in-law, Charles W. Cummins.
