Blacksburg, SC – Darrell R. Letteer, 65, passed away at home under Agape Hospice care on August 8, 2023, in Blacksburg, SC. He was born in Rochester, NY, and attended Greece-Olympia High School. While in New York, Darrell worked as an appliance delivery driver, and a machinist. After moving to South Carolina in the 1990’s, he worked many years in the lumber department of Lowe’s, in Gaffney, SC, Shelby, NC, and Forest City, NC locations.
Darrell enjoyed the remote country lifestyle. His main hobby was gun and bow hunting, and his best trophy was a seven-point buck. For most of his life he had a dog of some kind, and he successfully attracted bluebirds and hummingbirds to his South Carolina acreage. He greatly enjoyed July 4th celebrations, and would grill ribs and special New York white hotdogs, before setting off enough firecrackers to light up the entire sky.
Darrell was predeceased by his parents, Walter M. Letteer, Jr. and June M. Letteer. He is survived by the following family: brother David W. Letteer, Sr. (Paulette) from Charlotte, NC; brother Donald G. Letteer (Susan) from Atlanta, GA; sister Dorinda L. Fetterer from Silvis, Il; brother Dale R. Letteer (Rhonda) from Colorado Springs, CO; former wife Jennifer W. Letteer from Grover, NC; and ten nieces and nephews.
