No one loved life, family or adventures more than Darryl Vohs. He went
to his eternal rest on Sunday, August 21, 2022, to join his parents.
Darryl was born on March 27, 1961, at Smith Center, Kansas to Bernard and
Roberta (Rickert) Vohs.
Darryl was in the class of 1979 at West Smith County High School.
After high school he worked at Cessna as a machinist. Darryl then found
his calling as an electrician. He attended Beloit Vocational School to
study electricity. Darryl then went on to get his Journeyman and his
Master License in electricity. After working as a lineman, he started
his dream which was Vohs Electric Inc in 1995.
In 1984 he married the love of his life, Gayle. Gayle and Darryl
started their life together in Concordia. In 1991, they moved to Smith
Center where Gayle continues to live.
Darryl was a person who loved the outdoors and adventures. As a kid
on the farm, Darryl could build anything from parts he would find laying
around. Later in life his passion was motorcycles. Road, dual purpose
and motocross, Darryl loved them all. Darryl and Gayle took many trips
in their van with the motorcycles in the trailer behind. Moab, Utah, was
Darryl’s favorite place to ride and that is where he wishes for his
ashes to be scattered. Darryl designed and built many projects and was
still planning more projects as soon as he got better. Darryl never gave
up and still had plans to be out on his motorcycle riding.
Even while struggling with issues from the treatment for leukemia
Darryl continued to enjoy camping, fishing and canoeing. Darryl went as
far as paddling with his portable oxygen generator. Darryl made many
fans, CNA.s, nurses and doctors because of the fact that he never
complained through all of his treatments at numerous hospitals and
clinics. Even as Darryl struggled to breath, his family was amazed by
his sense of humor that brought smiles to others.
Darryl will join his parents Bernard and Roberta Vohs along with nephew Jeremy Johnson in Heaven.
He is survived by Gayle, his wife of 38 years, siblings, Bernadine
(Larry) Siemens, Carolyn (Mark) Johnson, Wanda (Lorrie) Opdahl, Eldon
(Dottie) Vohs, and Rodney (Maria) Vohs along with many nieces and
nephews.
