Darrell Gammon

Darrell Gammon was born September 23, 1951, and lived in Denver, Colorado. Public records maintained by the state cold-case archive identify him as a 34-year-old Black man whose life in Denver included friends, family, and the everyday ties that anchor a community.

While few publicly available records describe Darrell’s private life in detail, the verified facts show a man whose life was rooted in Denver. He is recorded in the Colorado cold-case database with a full birth date (September 23, 1951) and a death date of December 25, 1985. Those dates mark a life of 34 years carried out among neighbors and the neighborhoods of Denver.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death has been located in available public archives, we do not attempt to claim particulars about his work, hobbies, or close relationships beyond what reliable records provide. That restraint honors the limits of the public record and respects the privacy of those who knew him personally.

What can be said with confidence is that Darrell’s death on Christmas Day in 1985 left a gap for family and friends. For decades his case has remained part of community memory and public attention through official channels seeking information. This page exists to acknowledge Darrell as a person first—born on September 23, 1951, and remembered by his community in Denver—and to offer a quiet place of respect for his life apart from the circumstances of his death.

If you knew Darrell or have family memories, photographs, or stories you would like to share to help honor him, please consider contacting the Denver Police Department’s Cold Case unit or the local historical and library archives that collect obituary notices and community remembrances. Preserving memory is an act of care; Darrell’s name and dates deserve to be remembered with dignity.
