Darrell Arden Heth, 55, of Whitewater, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 14, 2013, at his home.
He was born on Nov. 13, 1957, son of Vernon Herbert and Dorothy Ann (Dallman) Heth. He grew up on Jefferson Street in the heart of Whitewater.
Darrell was an avid antique collector and over the years his collection and knowledge grew. He also was quite the artist with wrought iron. Darrell worked for many years at Sta-Rite on its maintenance staff.
Darrell could accomplish anything he set his mind to do. At a very early age, he completely remodeled the old Lima Schoolhouse into a home for his family. He was not afraid of hard work. The local farmers loved to have him clear their fence rows of scrub trees. Darrell split his harvested wood to heat the family home.
Darrell was known for his wonderful sense of humor and sharp wit. Darrell loved spending time with his friends and family. He also loved his pets. His favorite pastime was fishing.
Darrell is survived by his wife of 35 years, Gail (Stypla) of Whitewater; daughter, Jennifer Ann Heth of Wilmington, Del.; son, David Lee (Candice) Heth of Scranton, Kan.; and siblings, Vernon Alan Heth, Jeffrey Scott Heth, Denise Marie Bahr and Cheryl Ann Zoesch.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Brian James. At his request, no service will be held.
Condolences may be sent to 148 N. Park St, Whitewater, WI 53190.
