He graduated from high school, where he was also named a star football player. Daryl served proudly in the United States Air Force for four years. To aid his blind uncle, he moved to Virginia Beach. He continued his junior college education (that started out in Los Angeles) at Tidewater Community College. Daryl was a strong Christian man, who served as a Deacon at Union Baptist Church in Virginia Beach.
