In the spring of 2020, a life was tragically cut short in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Daryl Dwight Overstreet, a 45-year-old man known for his kind heart and a smile that could illuminate any room, was killed on April 21, 2020. Born in Tulsa on December 16, 1974, Daryl was a man who cherished his family and had a passion for spreading the word of God. He was remembered as someone who would readily give the shirt off his back to someone in need.
The circumstances of his death were violent and
senseless. Daryl was the victim of a fatal shooting, an event that sent ripples of grief through his community.
