passed away Thursday, Octo-ber 8, 2020, at Mountrail Medi-cal Center, Stanley.

A family and close friends service was held Monday, Oc-tober 12, 2020, at Springan Stevenson Funeral Home Cha-pel, Stanley. Graveside service took place Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at Cottonwood Lake Cemetery, Powers Lake. Pastor Sarah Sorenson officated.

Darryl was born September 3, 1966, at Powers Lake Hospital to Arnold and Viola (Godejohn) Erie. He was raised and edu-cated in Powers Lake, where he graduated in 1984. He attended NDSSS, Wahpeton and gradu-ated with a degree in auto me-chanics in 1986.
