Darrell was born December 26, 1960 to Raymond Bartek and Louise
Rohne Bartek. He was baptized into the christian faith on February
19, 1961. His date of Confirmation in the Lutheran Church was on
June 10, 1973. At the time of his death he was a member of Holy
Cross Lutheran Church in Dallas. He attended elementary school in
Carrollton, Texas before moving to Whitney, Texas in 1975. He was a
graduate of Whitney High School in May, 1979. On September 1, 1979,
he married his high school sweetheart, Pamela Sims. Born to this
union was one son, Tyson Ray Bartek, now of New York.
Darrell was gifted with many talents. In taking on any project, he
had the great foresight of how the finished product should look. He
could easily be tagged as “Mr. Fix It” as he shared his natural
mechanical abilities with his many friends and acquaintances. He
worked in the family business, Barco Mirror & Glass, for 30 plus
years until his health began to fail about 3 years ago.
Preceding him in death was his father, Raymond Bartek, in August,
1996.
Darrell is survived by his son, Tyson Ray of New York; mother,
Louise Bartek Ponewash and husband, David of Whitney; 2 brothers,
Larry Bartek and wife, Michelle of Plano, Brian Bartek of Irving;
his special friend, Helen Clarke of Carrollton and a host of aunts,
uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
