Darrell's obituary
Darrell was born on October 3, 1953 to Louis and Grace Cowen in Brawley, CA. He graduated from Corona High school in 1971. While Darrell was known to have done many things in his life, bull riding, bareback bronc riding, and rodeo clowning was on his list of favorites. His jobs included 18+ years working for McCulloch county as a county employee and 15+ years for Wal-Mart. Other jobs included driving trucks and working as a farm and ranch hand, along with many other jobs.
Darrell's one true passion lay around Traditional Country Music and on any given day, in any given moment he would be listening to or humming and singing whatever song that was fitting to the mood.
It can be said that Darrell was most known for the time and dedication he volunteered to the Heart of Texas Country Museum and its foundation. From the beginning, Darrell could be found helping at events, manning the front desk and giving countless tours of the treasures found there. His passion was for Traditional Country Music and it was there that he could share that love.
Darrell is survived by his wife, Renae; sons, Mark Cowen and his wife, Monica, John Cowen and his wife, Judy, and Luke Cowen; daughter, Rebecca Clinard and her husband, Robert; 2 grandsons, Micah and Marcus Cowen; 1 granddaughter, Makena Clinard; his sister, Alice Morris; 11 stepchildren, 13 step grandchildren, 3 step great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents Louis and Grace Cowen, 3 brothers; Tex, Glendon, and Aaron, 1 sister; Delia Hooper and granddaughter Elizabeth Grace Cowen.
Visitation will be held at Heritage Funeral Home located at 300 N Bridge St in Brady, Tx on Wednesday, June 16th from 6 PM to 8 PM.
