Darrell Justin Plaunty of Bend, Oregon, passed away at his home on May 29, 2012. He was 54.

A gathering of family and friends took place at the family home in Bend, Oregon.

Darrell was born June 29, 1957, in San Diego, Calif., to Dale and Sible (Robinson) Plaunty.

Darrell was a proud father to his three children and being a grandfather was one of the greatest joys of his life.

When he couldn’t spend time with his family, he could be found riding his motorcycle, playing cards, working on his property, or vacationing in the warm weather climates.

He will be missed more than he knows.
