Darrel was a longtime resident of Floresville, Texas, though his years of military service carried him to many places across the country. One of the most meaningful chapters of his life was spent in Hawaii, where he lived while beginning his family. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, retiring with the rank of Captain—a role he carried with great honor and dedication.

A man of deep faith, Darrel was a devoted member of First Baptist Church of Floresville, where he generously shared his musical talents with his church family. Music was a lifelong passion, and he found great joy in playing the guitar and uplifting others through song. He will be remembered as a good man who lived a full and meaningful life, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Darrel was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and Wallace Dundas; his former wives, Melanie Dundas and Sarah Dundas; his daughter, Crystal Dundas; and his step-son, Mark Lively.

He is survived by his children, Darla Hightower and her husband Tim, and Kenny Dundas.

He leaves behind his grandchildren, Dallas Hightower and Dylan Hightower and his step-grandchildren, Jamie Siegel, John Ferguson III, and Ian Ferguson. Darrel will be truly missed by his siblings, Charles Dundas and Dennis Dundas (Lois), his former wife, Judith Andreolli, along with numerous nieces, nephews, church family, and friends who will cherish his memory.
