On July 1, 1988, he was united in marriage to Beth Huisinga at the First Presbyterian Church in Aplington, Iowa.

After Daryl worked various jobs in the agricultural and construction industries, he soon realized the value of continuing his education and went on to receive his two year degree from DMACC in accounting.

Daryl took great pride in his landscaping and loved the outdoors. He was an avid Hawkeye fan and enjoyed attending football games at Kinnick Stadium. His proudest accomplishments were his family and his faith. He enjoyed family vacations, and it was important for him to attend his kids' school and church events.

Those left to honor his memory include his wife, Beth; three children, Zachary, Michaela and Morgan and a brother, Darwin (Becky) Uhlenhopp.
