Darryl Payne, Jackson, MI—The Jackson community is mourning the loss of Darryl Payne, who passed away on July 16th after a long battle with illness. Known affectionately as "Payne" to many, Darryl was a beloved grandfather, father, dedicated mail carrier, and proud US Marine who served in the Vietnam War.
Darryl’s passing has left a profound impact on those who knew him. He was a figure of strength and kindness, remembered for his service to his country and his unwavering commitment to his family and community. Unfortunately, Darryl did not have life insurance, and his children have borne the costs of his cremation, honoring his final wishes.
To properly celebrate Darryl’s life, his family and friends have organized a memorial celebration. A fundraiser has been set up by Nicki Fettig to help cover the expenses of this event, which aims to bring together all those who were touched by Darryl’s life. The funds raised will be used to book a venue, including bartenders, to ensure a fitting tribute to a man who meant so much to so many.
As of now, the fundraiser has a goal of $1,000, and Nicki is calling on the community to help make this celebration possible. Contributions will go directly to Darryl’s surviving children, allowing them to host an event that truly honors their father’s legacy.
We extend our deepest condolences to Darryl Payne’s family and friends during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember and celebrate the life of this remarkable man.
