Obituary from Idaho State Journal (Pocatello, ID) - September 24, 2011:
Darrell Byington, June 28, 2011, Lava Hot Springs, Idaho/Carlsbad, Californiia.
Darrell Byington was descended from a long line of pioneers. His family had 160-acre homestead of land in the Lava area, but no home. Earnest Byington, his father, built their large one-room home with the help of family members.
Darrell was the only son born to Earnest and Della Mae Byington on July 22, 1915. He had three sisters, Aney, Lola and Mayona. Darrell grew up on a working dairy farm. Life was hard but the family didn't mind. It taught him an incredible work ethic, and the family was held together by their great religious devotion.
Darrell was awarded a scholarship to the University of Idaho for his outstanding 4-H Club work in Bannock County. He completed his bachelor of science degree in 1938, and then enrolled at Washington State College in Pullman, Washington, for his graduate work. During his six years in school he never returned home except for an occasional visit. He worked all through his six years of college.
With his college education complete and his six-year enlistment in the 116th Cavalry of the Idaho National Guard finished, he began to seek challenges in the outside world.
Darrell married the love of his life, Maudie (Veberes) Byington, in 1941, and in 1942, he settled his family in Tacoma, Washington. There he was given an opportunity to work for New York Life Insurance Company and became one of the company's top salesmen as a result of his hard-working lifestyle.
Darrell and his wife, Maudie, with daughter, Dolly, loved to travel. Eventually Darrell and Maudie decided to live in Palm Desert, California, from November to May and then in Tacoma the remainder of the year. They both loved to golf and enjoyed the winter weather in Palm Desert.
Darrell joined a small fireworks distributor (1975), and under Darrell's guidance, the company became the largest distributor on the West Coast. Throughout his life, Darrell Byington carried with him the diligent work ethics learned in his early Lava Hot Springs upbringing. He not only succeeded in business, but most importantly, he spread his entrepreneurial spirit learned early in life, and used these skills to help charities and non-profit organizations throughout his life.
Darrell Byington lived a wonderful life, working hard, and playing hard and was loved by his wife, Maudie; daughter, Dolly; grandchildren, Linda and Mark; great-grandchildren, Andrew, Sara, Pam, Mark Jr.; and his brand-new great-great-granddaughter, Savanna.
He inspired everyone he knew, and all their lives were enriched as a result of knowing him. Darrell Byington never forgot his pioneer roots and the importance of preserving community history.
Darrell Byington's funeral will be conducted at the Lava Cemetery on Saturday, September 24, 11 a.m. Following the graveside ceremony, South Bannock County Historical Center, 110 E. Main St. Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, (208 776 5254), will host Darrell Byington's family and friends in a celebration of his remarkable and generous life.
