He was born Nov. 14, 1940, in San Diego, Calif., to Elmo and Marge Gammel Baade. He was raised in Malcolm, where he graduated from High School and then attended the University of Nebraska.

He was the longtime owner of the Pom Pom Ice Cream Parlor in the Mall. He worked for several years and retired from Nebraska Wine and Spirits in 2005. His musical talent was a big part of his early years and followed him through his entire life. As a young boy he played the trumpet and sang with the OK Jones Band in Lincoln. For many years he played bass guitar and sang with Mark V and Hadley Barrett and the Westerners. Whistling was a passion of his and he could always be heard on the downtown streets. He was a charter member of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo Committee serving for 12 years. Hunting, fishing and golf were his favorite hobbies and he enjoyed them to the fullest with his friends and family. Darrell was said to be the best guy you could ever know and was loved by everyone.
