Darrell Decker

Darrell Glen Decker was born June 23, 1930 to Beulah (McGowan) Decker and Harold Decker in Casper, Wyoming. Darrell passed peacefully at 89 years old in Wyoming Medical Center on January 23, 2020. Darrell was raised in Casper, WY, where he attended Natrona County High School, graduating in 1948. Following graduation, he worked at the family businesses, Decker Alignment and Decker Auto Glass. In 1950, he joined the U.S. Army and served in the Korean War as an infantryman. When he returned from Korea, he began running the family businesses and quickly met the love of his life, Billie Jean (Meriwether) Decker. They were married in 1954 and their love never faded. Darrell and Billie had two daughters, Darlyn and Debbie. Darrell was active in the Casper Shrine Club throughout his life. He was a member of the Korean Shrine Band and later joined the Shriners motorcycle group. Darrell built the alignment and glass shops over many years before retiring in 1978. He and Billie moved to Dubois, WY after they retired. Following retirement, Darrell and Billie traveled and spent time with their grandchildren during the summers. In 1995, they returned to their beloved Casper to be closer to family. Anyone who knew Darrell understood his love for the Shriners, but also his love of motorcycles, classic cars, and his family. He lives on through his lifelong contributions as a business owner and industry pioneer in Casper, along with his loving family.

Darrell was preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Billie Jean Decker. He is survived by his two daughters, Darlyn Decker McIntosh and Deborah (Debbie) Ann Decker, both of Casper, WY; four grandchildren Ryan Decker Rasner, Reid Rasner, Darbi (Rasner) Westman and her husband Andy, and Zack Gentzlinger; and two great-grand children, Damion and Mason.
