Darryl Singleton
September 6, 1967 – November 3, 2024
Darryl met LaDawn his wife of 32 years in 1989. They shared a life filled with love and adventure. He worked for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office for 30 years, where he proudly served his community. His greatest achievement in life though was his family. He coached his sons Dakota and Shadow in baseball and never missed a soccer game for his daughter Sydney. Whether it was a vacation to Yellowstone or the traditional family trip of 25 years to an Atlanta Braves game, he only wanted to be surrounded by his family. In 2021, when his son Dakota married Jessica, Darryl accepted her with open arms and his family of 5 was now 6. In 2022, his family grew again when his son Shadow married Katelyn. With two new daughters his heart was fuller than ever. He wanted them around maybe more than his sons sometimes. In December of 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer. He never got down or asked why me? If anyone asked him how he was doing, he would always say “just right”. Through his two-year fight, he did it the way he did anything else, surrounded by his family, On November 3rd he went down swinging still surrounded by his family.
Darryl is preceded in death by his grandparents, Groce and Vera Singleton; grandparents, Jim and Josephine Singleton; brother, Mark Singleton, and mother-in-law, Sue Stafford.

We are deeply sorry for the passing of Darryl. His life was cut way too short. You all are one of the strongest families I know of and I know you will support one another through this very hard time. One of my memories I think of the most when I think of him is he’s the only man that I ever knew that put mayo in his dry lima beans. He use to try and get me to try it and I could just never bring myself to try it. But the next time Jennifer makes some in honor of Darryl always trying to get me to try it I’m going to put me a small helping in a separate bowl and try it one time just to say I finally did and hope he’s happy. If there’s anything we can do for any of you all please give us a call. You all take care and enjoy all of the memories Darryl left you with. Mike/Jennifer & Family.
My deepest condolences go out to everyone in Darryl’s family, and friends. I am truly sadden to hear of his passing. May God comfort each of you, not only now, but going forward. Keeping you all in my prayers.
