Darrell "Skipper" Ray Player Jr., 61, of Mooringsport, Louisiana, passed away unexpectedly, on Thursday, January 7, 2021. Darrell was a graduate of Northwood High School. He was a hunting and fishing enthusiast. He even married his wife, Mary at their deer camp. Darrell was a pool plumber by trade, but his greatest accomplishment was his family. He loved big, had sarcasm down to an art, loved to make people laugh and he never met a stranger. He was the type of man who would take the shirt off his back if it was needed. There will never be another man like him.
Darrell was preceded in death by his parents, Darrell Ray Player, Sr. and Jane Harriet Player and his stepson, Joseph James Hanegan.
In addition to the love of his life, Mary Player, he is survived by his sister, Chyrl Craig; his two daughters, Rachal Nacole Player and Amanda Hope MacIntire and husband, Ian; two stepchildren, Crystal Marie Lamb and Coleman Patrick Hanegan; like a son, Thomas Boyd Lamb and wife, Courtney; grandchildren, Nicholas Sebastian Perez, Alicia Nacole Perez, Liam Alexander Macintire and William, Christian, Tristan, Madalyn, Victoria, Makenzie, Colin, Bayleigh, and Cole Hanegan and three great-grandchildren, Joseph, Stella and Arabella.
A visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Monday, January 11, 2021 at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 705 S. Spruce Street, Vivian, Louisiana.
