COMMON: Suddenly on July 16, 2005, Darrell Wayne Common (Charlie) passed away at his home in Rivers, Manitoba. Darrell was born in Rivers on October 7, 1961, son of John and Elaine Common. He lived in Bradwardine as a young child and moved with his parents to Rivers where he resided until his passing. Darrell as a young person struggled with diabetes and cancer. Regardless of this tough start he grew to be a wonderful caring individual. Darrell worked alongside his father helping anyone that needed assistance. He also was a great support to his mother assisting her in any way he could. Darrell was an avid lawn care worker cutting grass for neighbors and friends and always ensuring that flowerbeds and the yards were in good shape. At the time of his passing, Darrell was employed by the Town of Rivers, a job he enjoyed immensely. Darrell's love for people was unlimited. He enjoyed golf and his golf ball collection was one to be admired. Darrell's greatest attribute was his love of children. " Uncle Charlie" spent countless hours playing with his young nephews and nieces, answering to their every request and laughing wholeheartedly at their youthful actions. Darrell was loved by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, John and Elaine Common; his siblings Janice (Bruce) Walker, Jo-Anne (Bob) Curry, Graham (Peggy) Common, Duane (Audrey) Common and Shannon (Roger) Neal. He will be lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews, Meaghen (Cory and Kaedyn), Jonathon, Brady, Wyatt, Kylie, Wally (Debra, Rachel and Kyle), Nichole (Greg, Meghan, Brittany and Jordan). He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
