Sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Darrell in Cal Ripken baseball. It was all about the kids!
Darrell was a big fixture with St. Cloud Baseball! He had a gruff exterior, but inside was one of the nicest, hardest working individuals I had ever met! RIP!
I had the pleasure to work with Darrell Rapp with Waite Park Cal Ripken Baseball. He help organize and run many state and regional tournament for MN Babe Ruth. Darrells passion for life, youth baseball and Waite Park Baseball was instrumental for the program and community. Darrell loved giving all he could for youth baseball and his family. He will be remembered for his passion for youth, families and people. He was a devoted family man and always talked so highly about them. We will all miss Darrell. Our simpathy to you and your family for your loss.
