He then attended Ricks College and Weber State College. He was married to Kathleen Robinson (4 children), later divorced. On September 25, 1987 he married the love of his life, Barbara Patricia Lay, in the Salt Lake Temple for time and eternity.
Darrel had a gift for serving and caring for others and was known for his kind and compassionate spirit. He volunteered in several different capacities, including Family House, a non-profit organization he co-founded to help the homeless. He was always drawn to lift and bless those who were disadvantaged, homeless, or down on their luck.
He loved his family (adored his grandchildren), history, geography and maps, and would spend his free time studying maps and memorizing details from every state. He loved his Savior, studying about the Atonement of Christ and tried hard to emulate Him in all he did.
He is survived by his precious wife, Barbara Patricia Lay Tolman, his five children: Sheri (Duane) Lovell, David (Teresa), Monica (Rick) Barton, Brian (Cathy) and Evan (Amanda); twenty grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; brother John (Joan), sisters Shirlene Tolman, Loraine (Buddy) Pace, and Loretta (DeLoy) Thueson. Preceded in death by his parents, William Odell and Opal Adams Tolman, his sister Janice Taylor and brother Michael.
