Age 83, of Lakeville, MN passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on October 21, 2025.

He is survived by his cherished wife of 57 years, Jackie; daughters, Jennifer (Alex) and Kristine (Michael); grandchildren, Tyler, Nora, Levi, Jack, and Logan; and sister, Gayle; along with many other relatives and friends. Daryl's wit, humor, and kindness will forever remain in the hearts of those close to him.

Daryl grew up on a farm in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota.  He studied physics at Macalester, then earned his Ph.D. from the University of MN. Daryl worked as a geophysicist, first, at the U.S. Bureau of Mines, and later, at his own company, GeoTom.  He had a great passion for using geophysics to find safe drinking water and his Christian faith informed his compassionate worldview.

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he shared his love of trains, flamenco guitar, and geology with his children and grandchildren.  He was also interested in his Norwegian ancestry and was an active member of both the Sons of Norway and the Numedalslågen Lag.

Daryl is preceded in death by his son, Erik; brother, Roger; and brother-in-law, Gary.
