Darril Gibson, age 64, died on September 8th, 2022. It was a long yearlong battle fighting sarcoma cancer; the tumor started in a kidney and grew, spreading to other organs in stealth mode without giving any clues of the mini bombs they were planting. Darril always loved the “knowledge transfer thing” and spent more than a dozen years in front of classrooms teaching others. In fact, ever since he saw his neighbor’s eyes light up after he taught her how to tell time from a clock, he’s been in love with sharing his knowledge with others. They were both about 6 or 7, and for the younger crowd out there, this was an analog clock, not a digital one. After a 22-year Navy career working with computers and electronics, Darril retired as a Master Chief. He then went on and filled a dream becoming a full-time author and writing books that help others. Since then, he has authored, coauthored, or contributed to more than 40 books that will live on helping others. One of his true joys in life is receiving emails from readers letting him know about their successes after using one of his books. It didn’t stop in the classroom or with his books; Darril was quick to teach anyone who came to him for assistance. He founded the Get Certified Get Ahead brand, helping tens of thousands of people get certified and get ahead in their jobs and careers. His love of life did not limit him to writing and teaching. With his wife at his side, they set out on adventures that took them all over the world, granting them experiences that many might only wonder about. His generosity knew no bounds. If he could give, he did. His motto was: Life is meant to be fun, fulfilling, and filled with fabulous fortunes. One of his greatest joys was gardening. He was a Master Gardener and loved to work in his garden. He was quick to help his sister, Dawn, plan what to do in her garden in California. She now has a vibrant garden that reminds her of him daily. Darril is survived by the love of his life, Nimfa Gibson (also known as Wonder Woman), his dog Perry, Nicole Ostrowski (Darril’s partner at the Vegas craps table) and his favorite little sister, Dawn Grzena. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to Sarcoma Foundation of America. See more See Less SHOW YOUR SUPPORT SEND FLOWERS Send flowers or a gift to a service or family's home.

Everything a person felt, experience and saw dies with them, like tears in the rain." - Paulo Coelho Darril, I will never forget my interview day when you said you also loved Paulo Coelho. I just knew then that you are special and one of a kind. Today is a sad day for me knowing you already passed away; however, I take consolation in knowing you are now in God's gentle hands. You have always been kind and generous. You will always be remembered. Praying for courage and strength to all of your loved ones as they continue to embark on life's journey. Maria N. 0 Add a Comment * MATTHEW KING Other 09/12/2022 I used his books to start my post navy career in IT. He is the reason I passed Security + 0 Add a Comment * DON KNOWLES Friend 09/12/2022 Gina and I are so sorry and shocked to hear of Darril’s passing. We were friends of Nimfa and Darril and were stationed together in the Philippines and later visited them in Pensacola years later. Darril sent my son one of his books when he was younger. My favorite memory of Darril was from the Philippines. I asked him to perform his magic for the kids in my Wife Gina’s family neighborhood. The kids loved the show and were mesmerized by his magic. Like most of my friends from the Navy we went different directions after retirement but kept in touch occasionally via Social Media. Our sincere condolences and prayers to Nimfa, Dawn and the entire Family. Fair Winds and Following Seas Master Chief. We Have the Watch! Don R Knowles Jr CTMCM (USN Retired) 0 Add a Comment * DAWN GRZENA Family 09/11/2022 No words describe the chasm in my heart since you transitioned to god. You were always steadfast in your support and love for me and I know you will be close by while I continue my journey here on earth. I could not have designed or asked for a better big brother to do this thing here on earth with. I love you and will miss you beyond measure. I know you'll visit me when I'm gardening (please visit often). Love your bestest, most favorite baby sister. 0 Add a Comment * EXPRESS YOUR SYMPATHY WITH FLOWERS Flowers express sympathy and respect.
