Darrell Jarvis
1939-2017
Darrell was born April 6, 1939 to Thelma McCoy and Richard
Jarvis in Fredericton, NB. His life was shaped by two major
events. The first was a tent meeting in Stanley, where he
came to know the Lord. The second was marrying Lynne London
on October 7, 1967. Darrell and Lynne were blessed with five
wonderful children, Chris Royce Jarvis, Craig Richard Jarvis,
Joni-Lynne (Jarvis) Orcurto, Sarah Autumn Joy Jarvis, and Jenna Rae
Ashley Jarvis, plus an adopted daughter, Lisa Dawn (Waddell)
O’Sullivan, their spouses and 17 grandchildren.
Professionally, Darrell was a manager with Apex Industrial Supply, and
later was an Insurance and Financial Planner, where his ability to get
to know anyone helped him to prosper. His walk with Christ
led him to multiple ministries. Darrell helped found Halifax
Christian Academy, served Bible Baptist Church in every role,
supported Sunday suppers, worked closely with the Gideon’s,
and volunteered at the Fairview Villa. His guidance also led
Open Door Community to build a school in Cambodia through Hope
International. The lives Darrell touched at work and through
ministry are impossible to measure. Personally, Darrell and
his family loved to travel and see God’s creation.
Darrell experienced the culture of Japan, the hills of Ireland, the
history of Spain and Morocco, the heat of Bermuda and Mexico, and had
seen nearly every part of the United States. At home, he
toiled away in the garden and fish pond while ensuring every bird in
the city had a place to eat. Darrell’s ultimate
gift was getting to know people. Cashiers, servers, hotel
staff, or just someone on the street. Darrell wanted to get
to know everyone’s life story which is what gathered
everyone to his celebration of life on August 3, 2017.
