Honor Darrell Winstead A Life of Laughter, Love & Legacy

Hi, my name is Lynette, and I’m raising funds to give my father, Darrell Winstead, the beautiful send-off he deserves.

My Daddy wasn’t just a father …he was my best friend, my twin flame, my favorite person. We spoke every single day. Right now, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that I won’t hear his voice again, won’t laugh with him again, won’t see him light up a room with his presence.

Because that’s who he was — a light.

Darrell was a comedian at heart. Even in the darkest moments …yes, even waking up from life support …he had everyone around him cracking up. Nurses, doctors, family — he turned pain into laughter. That was his magic.

He was a man of many talents: a bartender, caterer, car enthusiast, and people magnet. He could look at any car and tell you the year, model, and engine type without blinking. He met more celebrities than I can count — George Clooney, Oprah — and shook hands with greatness because he was greatness in his own right.

He loved the simple joys: a good drive, a cold scoop of ice cream, spoiling the people he loved, and taking care of his wife with unmatched loyalty and care. When she passed, it broke him deeply — but he kept fighting. He survived brain surgery. He kept smiling. He stayed strong.

My father did not have life insurance, and I’m now faced with the overwhelming responsibility of planning his funeral, cleaning out his home, and handling all the costs on my own. I’m asking, from the bottom of my heart, for help in giving him the homegoing he deserves.

Your donations will help cover:

• Funeral & burial costs

• Funeral home service fees

• Transportation & preparation

• Anything left will go toward honoring his memory and legacy

If you knew Darrell, you already know how unforgettable he was. And if you didn’t — I hope these words show you just how much light, laughter, and love he gave to this world.

Please share, donate, or simply keep us in your prayers. It means everything.

With gratitude and love,

Lynette (his daughter)
