Darrell Lee Crommett

VASSALBORO – Darrell Lee Crommett, 65, passed away peacefully at Maine General on Feb. 27, 2024, after a long battle with dementia.

He was born May 29, 1958, a son of Theda (Tompkins) and Leslie Crommett Sr. Darrell grew up in Weeks Mills and was one of 14 brothers and sisters. He graduated from Erskine Academy in 1977. In 1979 he welcomed his only son, Derek, with then wife, Karen Perry. He retired in 2018 after over 25 years of service as a dedicated delivery driver for Suburban Propane.

Darrell was full of life and lived it to the fullest. He enjoyed playing softball for most of his adult life in various leagues, and especially loved playing alongside his son.

On warm summer days Darrell could be found cruising on his Harley, whether it be a quick trip to the store or a long-distance ride. He spent a lot of time “working” around his property with his Kubota tractor. He loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time snowmobiling or four-wheeling with family and friends. He enjoyed hauling his camper to various locations, especially down to the Fryeburg Fair.

Darrell enjoyed trips up north to his nephew, Shane’s hunting lodge, as well as trips to a camp he built and owned in Springfield for many years. He loved hunting and ice fishing. He could often be found in his ice shack on Three-mile Pond and was most happy to spend a day fishing with his grandson, Liam. He enjoyed his property on the lake in Vassalboro and held many fond memories of the neighbors who he considered family.

He loved spending time with his grandchildren and would light up when they would come to visit Grampy. His granddaughter Aly gave him a run for his money and was affectionally called his “little pistol”.

Darrell was predeceased by his parents; and his siblings, Leslie Crommett Jr., Myrtie Nowlan, Joanne Shorey, Mary Davis, and Herbie Crommett.

He is survived by his son Derek Crommett, his wife Amanda and their two children Liam and Aly; siblings Clayton Crommett, Vincent Crommett, Grace Davis, Barbara Mayberry, Vicki McPhee, Dianne Demerchant, Beverly Smith and Mariette Field; his life-long best friend, Ed Haskell; several nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends.

Derek and Amanda would like to thank the staff at Captain Lewis Residence in Farmingdale for the incredible kindness and care they showed Darrell during his stay.

Visiting hours will be held at Plummer Funeral Home, 16 Pleasant St., Augusta on March 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held this summer.
