June 2, 2024I was so sad at hearing that Darryl has left us and although our meeting at Adelaide River was brief, he and Ange were welcoming and made my time there so memorable. We are all travellers in the journey of life and the measure of a man is how he treats others that he meets along the way.

June 3, 2024
Always there for everyone, love from Neville and Celia Anderson and familyStrop what can we say – there are no words to express our sadness at your passing.
You were a work colleague of Craigs for over 20 years & our concreter. More than that though you were a great mate & friend to Craig.
Your infectious attitude to life left everyone smiling – even if your ‘running on red cordial’ approach left them floundering in ‘your path’.
I am glad that Craig was able to put some music on ‘that stick’ for you so that you had a selection of music to listen to on your journey to Darwin. Sadly you will not be listening to it on the way home.
You loved your Ange immensely & I can hear her saying ‘oh Darryl’ as you bounced around keeping everyone happy & entertained. Your children & grandchildren were your world.
Strop, our lives & the lives of everyone who knew you will be much quieter & sadder now that you are gone.
To Ange & your family we are so sorry that such a great man has departed from this world.
Craig & Jo McDonald

June 4, 2024Dear Ange and family, our condolences to you all. It was great to have had lunch with you before your trip to Darwin. So shocked to hear that Daryl was not coming home.
June 5, 2024
Daelene and BerineAnge, I only met both yourself and Strop the one time at my brothers house. I followed your trip all the way up to Darwin.
June 5, 2024
Shared a meal around the table, not Strop, he was busy making the other campers comfortable.
On your way out as I was saying goodbye/good night to you both, Strop placed his empty GREEN CAN in a pot plant and said to me, that’ll keep him busy, he won’t forget me in a hurry. Well STROP you surely were right about that, for Days and even weeks after you had left Carla and Steven are still finding empty GREEN CANS that you had placed strategically around their garden.
You will be surely missed by all. You travelled all the way to TENNANT CREEK with a STROPINATOR, a gift for Steven that you had built specifically for him, I can surely tell you that will be treasured. Ange, I am deeply sorry for your loss. 💜💜💜💜Mate rest in peace gone but never forgotten

How saddened we are to learn of Daryl’s ‘Strop’s”” sudden passing.
A true Aussie character gone too soon.Sincere condolences to Ange and family, .
Still can’t believe Strop has gone only spoke to him a few days prior he was having a great holiday with Ange and friends, loving life and said l will be home in a few weeks and I will be at your place to finish of some jobs, there was nothing Strop couldn’t do, I would always make sure I was home with him when he came over and we worked together we would have a laugh tell stories, he would tell me of his fishing trips, going on holidays in the caravan, going to miss Strops fresh fish , Strop you are one in a million and never going to forget you my friend, a true gentleman gone to early,
we will have a VB beer and a cup of tea for you my friend.Dominic & Pieta Lee & Adriana and Georgia D’Alia

June 10, 2024Such sad news. Sending my love & deepest condolences to Ange & family. Vicki King xx
June 10, 2024Rest easy Strop 🍻🦌🦈 I sit here thinking about how much of a bloody incredible husband of 50 years you were to Ange, overcoming so many big hurdles and hard times, such a loving, devoted and hands on present father and grandfather you are and smile knowing you gave those you love more than your all. I’ll miss seeing the beautiful memories you created with the family, and laugh thinking about you attacking me with clippers on multiple occasions for cutting my own hair 🤭 ironically ended up hairdressing and I stopped that. I remember a boating trip to Mann’s Beach as a kid and being so terrified I insisted on staying on the jetty for the entire day with my sandwiches, but of course I didn’t and you made it so fun and entertaining catching a sea snake and I think Jase losing his hat which got me thinking that will be me overboard next, only to have you help me cast out and then reel in a fish 🥰 I was ok after that I think. Your voice booming into the backroom on our sleepovers, and the energy you put out in this universe was like no other.
June 10, 2024

Darryl gone forever fishing. RIPSadly we can’t be there to say goodbye to a legend. A few years back Strop dropped in to our place to grab some pipe for a project he was working on. He noticed a large tree had fallen, partially covering our driveway. He said “I’ll be back” He went home to grab his chainsaw and cleaned the tree up and stacked the wood for us
June 12, 2024
He was just that kind of man, so generous with his time and ready to help anyone
Gone too soonRest in peace Strop, condolences to all your family. A top bloke who will be sadly missed. Jim Giovinazzo & family
June 12, 2024Dear Angie,
June 12, 2024
I’m so sorry to read of Daryl’s passing.
I’m sending my condolences and love to you and your families at this sad time.
Please if there’s anything you need let me know❤️🩹🌹🙏
Love Yap, Pete, Wyatt and AshtonStrop, Stropper, Poppy Strop, The Stroppinator…
It is hard to fathom we won’t get to see you again; my heart is heavy knowing that I won’t ever be greeted by your giant cheeky smile, goofy laugh and be given a big hug. I think back now about how lucky I was to grow up and be included in your family; all the fun and crazy times, so many adventures, some of the hardest of times of our lives, but mostly the very best of times. So many good memories… fishing on the boat, floundering, camping trips, holidays, jukeboxes and terrible dance moves, and the endless stream of family events. I feel even luckier that Brad and my girls got to enjoy doing those things with you too. Thank you for welcoming them and loving them. The fishing…you taught me so much. Not just about tying ends, de-hooking, watching my trotters near the flathead once they were on the boat, filleting and skinning fish; you also taught me about patience, teamwork, about making little moments seem like big moments, celebrating all things (especially if no one got hurt in the process), about always finding the light and fun in everything. Your dad jokes were absolute rippers, terrible but funny, and as for your ridiculous pranks, I will cherish them forever. I can’t think about a time spent with you and all the different crews over the years without smiling to myself. Now, there is a big wave of sadness too. I always loved the way you adored Ange, your kids/grandkids, especially Nikki your little worm, and you were never afraid to show it. I loved the way you accepted and loved people without any conditions, you were loyal to family, to all your friends, always helpful and generous with your time. I loved your creative ideas and little inventions, even the ones that ended in complete disaster during their trial period (aka the stroppinator lol), there was always a good tale to be told and laugh to be had at the end of the day.
My deepest condolences to your beautiful family, what a massive loss. Thanks for everything, Strop. I hope you’re enjoying a VB up there, surrounded by family and friends, fishing with Olli from the cloud ❤️🥰🍻🎣❤️Love always, Lisa (Brad, Ruby, Maeve and Iris).
June 12, 2024Condolences to Ange, Nicki and all the family. Gone way too soon. Feeling your loss. ❤️
June 13, 2024To Ange and family, I was heartbroken to hear of Strop’s passing. Taken way too soon, my heart goes out to you all. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

The world will definitely be different with you not walking in it. I am lost for worlds. A true Aussie gentleman. You always welcomed everyone into your family home with open arms. With a big cheeky grin and a offer of a can to share. I’m thankful that I got to share in some great moments with you in it. I remember the long nights in the shed , with the juke box playing the tunes .
You rocking up on a Sunday morning to mow our lawns x It was just your excuse to come and catch up on the goss from the Saturday night . Then staying for a beer and inviting everyone for Sunday roast . I’m thankful mick got to spend time on the boat with fishing with you . You adored your little worm and she was never far from your side . I have no doubt that you will still be beside her always. Your family meant to world to you and it truly did not go unnoticed.. A generous man who was just fun to be around. You loved your family it truly showed in everything that you did.. Our deepest condolences to Ange and all the family. We have no doubt Strop will be one of the brightest stars lighting up the sky’s , with a beer in one hand and rod in the other . Telling tales and cracking jokes with his cheeky grin.
Love 💕 Renae, Mick , makayla, charlee, linc, Jacob and Beau xxxStrength and courage to you Ang as life changes greatly without Darryl in it. To you and the rest of the family we are thinking of you all at this time of great sadness.
