A funeral service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church in Richey with Pastor Paul Sponheim officiating. Interment will follow in the Richey Cemetery. Silha Funeral Home of Richey has been entrusted with the arrangements. Darrel was born on November 11, 1951, in Sidney, Montana to Jim and Carol Buller. He graduated from Richey High School and shortly thereafter joined and served in the Army National Guard. He was happy when that was done so that he could do what he loved - farming!! Since the day he could walk, he was by his dad’s side learning every aspect of farming, watching closely everything his dad did. He was obsessed with getting rid of “those pesky weeds” that could harm his crop. While Darrel wished he could be helping with harvest this year, it’s fitting that we are celebrating his life at his favorite time of year – Harvest!! Oh, how he loved it!! Darrel married Janice Fried of Baker, Montana on December 27, 1972. Together they began their life in the community they loved – Richey. They were blessed with their precious children, Kris Ryan and Karlene Renae. Darrel’s farming evenings became shorter once Kris and Karly arrived on the scene. He really loved spending time with them – his kids were his life. He enjoyed following all of their sporting events and taking them on many fishing trips. He was a little biased of what he caught saying, “Keep those slimy things out of the boat!” referring to the Northern Pike. His preference was walleye. Woodworking was one of his favorite hobbies. He custom made pieces of furniture for many people in the community as well as family members. Darrel was especially interested in the next generation of farmers. He was proud of his nephews and so thankful for Colin and Devin who planted the crop as his health started to deteriorate. Kris and Jess blessed Darrel and Jan with three grandchildren: Ivan, Anna and Micah. They were all with him the days and hours before his death. Darrel was preceded in death by his grandparents; his father, Jim Buller; his newborn brother, Dennis Buller; brother-in-laws, Alex Jackson and Duane Ulrich; and nephew, Mikel Ulrich. Darrel is survived by his wife, Jan; his children, Kris (Jess) and Karlene; his grandchildren, Ivan, Anna, and Micah; his mother, Carol Buller; his sisters, Judy Raisl (Butch), Bonnie Smith (Larry), Nancy Ulrich, Cami Mahoney (Ed), & Karen Moore (Jim). He is also survived by fifteen nephews and nieces, and seven great nephews and nieces. The family would like to thank everyone who prayed for them over the past years and for all the many text messages, e-mails, letters, and Bible verses that were sent to encourage them. They feel blessed beyond measure for all their family and friends. Memorials may be sent to Dickey Lake Bible Camp, P.O. Box 11, Trego, MT 59923, or by online donation at dickeylakebiblecamp.org.
