    Mr. Darrow was born on July 9, 1948 in Houma, Louisiana to the late Charles Walker Darrow and Allene Woolard Darrow. The Darrow family moved to Washington when Billy was six months old.

He will be remembered for his quick wit, his special love for his children and grandchildren, and his unrelenting ministry of food, as he often served his church family by manning the grill. Towards the end of his life, Billy experienced a personal renaissance of faith, and his last days were full of joy.
