Darrell Keith Bumgarner memorial
Donation protected
Darrell Keith Bumgarner Jr. died on July 7, 2018. Friends have started this fundraiser to help his family cover funeral and other end-of-life costs. His mother, Linda, will be in charge of final expenses.
He was the son of Darrell Bumgarner Sr. and Linda Rose Bumgarner. He was preceded in death by his brother, James “Jimmy” Bumgarner. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, he spent his career in the building trades, working as an electrician and carpenter. He had deep experience and ability in not only these core trades, but also in plumbing, masonry, concrete – the list included every skill needed to build a house or commercial structure.
He took pride in having built many Arby’s and other restaurants with a traveling team that worked with high efficiency and quality. He was a dedicated craftsman and particularly enjoyed doing building and maintenance work for employers Dave Strom and Davis Biggs.
He also had a lifelong devotion to designing and building electronic devices; he began creating his own circuit boards in the basement of his family home before he was a teenager. He leaves behind many friends who will dearly miss his unlimited curiosity, his wit, his mischievous spirit and his can-do attitude.
Funeral service will be 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11, 2018, at Beard Mortuary; visitation will be two hours prior to the service. Burial will follow at a date to be determined.
A celebration of Darrell's life will be held on Friday, Aug. 24, 2018, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the American Legion Post 16, 421 6th Street in Huntington.
