Darryl Lynn Rimiller
April 23, 1949 ~ August 4, 2024
Darryl Lynn Rimiller, 75, of Jefferson City, passed away Sunday, August 4, 2024, at his residence surrounded by his loving family.
Darryl was born April 23, 1949, in Rome, New York, the son of Carlton and Mildred (Scherz) Rimiller.
Darryl proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War in 1967/68.
He was united in marriage for 53 years on August 21, 1971, in Dixon, Missouri to his loving wife Sharlene Ann Brown who survives at their home.
Darryl owned and operated J.C. Tuckpointing Company for over 30 years. Beyond his professional endeavors, he found joy in spending time with his beloved sons and grandchildren, especially while in the great outdoors.
Darryl’s life was enriched by his intrinsic curiosity and interest in learning new things. From becoming a pilot in his 30’s, to studying firearm reloading and ballistics, learning about cooking and smoking fine meats, and constantly improving his knowledge of hunting and fishing. Most recently Darryl enjoyed learning about habitat management on the farm, how to weld, operate farm equipment and stocking the family lake with fish.
Darryl’s life was devoted to learning and pursuing his numerous interests. When those endeavors brought him closer to his family, they were the most important to him. His legacy is not only one of hard work, high character and a learning spirit, but also an appreciation for the simple pleasures that life had to offer. A cup of coffee in the morning with his sons, a deer he encountered on one of his million drives through Binder Park, or a kind gesture from a stranger at the grocery store.
Of all the things that Darryl exhibited throughout his life, his greatest quality was just being himself. If Darryl was anything, he was uniquely himself…always! As Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, ‘To be yourself, in a world that is constantly trying to make you someone else, is life's greatest accomplishment.” To that definition, no one has ever accomplished living a better life than Darryl Rimiller!
Survivors include his wife, Sharlene Rimiller, Jefferson City; four sons, Derrick (Jennifer) Smith, Westville, NJ; Michael (Jennifer) Rimiller, Monroe, NC; Matt (Stephanie) Rimiller, Jefferson City; Eric (Teri) Rimiller, Orange County, CA; nine grandchildren, Avery Rimiller, Elise Rimiller, Kalyn Rimiller, Linsy Rimiller; Rylee (Zachary) Carl, Baylor Rimiller, Ashtyn Rimiller, Ethan Rimiller, Grant Rimiller; and three sisters, Shirley Aderman, Philadelphia, PA; Patricia Canon, Palatka, FL; and Brenda Nase, Syracuse, NY.
Private family services will be held at a future date.

I will always remember so many things about Buzz. When we went to visit him and Sharlene, he always called Jim “Jimbo” and me ” Sis” thoes words will always be with me. One thing you could be sure of, He always made a pot of coffee for us. All the things we talked about from hunting stories, to fishing, and the things the boys, did which we had 6 boy’s!!! between us. Needless to say, they weren’t angels! But they turned out to be good men. And he liked to cook. But he talked to me about his cornbread, and said it didnt ever, turned out good. So, i gave him my recipe, and he loved it!! I will forever remember his infectious laugh.š . He was a kind and generous person. He was always learning different jobs, tuckpointing was his primary. He learning to become a pilot. A processor of the wild game the boys would bring home. He had a top of the line equipment set up in his garage. And was so proud of it. His processed meat looked like a professionals Job!! The love he had for the outdoors. Going out to the Farm his son Erick purchased for his retirement! He was so proud, of all his sons and loved them so much. And all the grandkids He loved going out to the farm there working and learning new things, like how to run the different equipment. Stocking fish in the lake, Doing everything he could! Of course being with him for 54 years, there is know way to tell everything we shared. We will miss you, and you were an awesome Brother-in-law!! We loved you to pieces ā¤ļø š
Sharlene;
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Darryl. I think I only met him once or twice, but the beautiful words of his life certainly are a reflection of the man I met.
May all the great memories you have carry you through the difficult days.
Reading over the posts there is not much I can add. I knew Darryl since the mid nineties when he did tuckpointing jobs notably the Bolton Home in Wardsville. He was a great guy easy to talk to and will be missed by all that knew him.
