On Friday, December 31, 2021, Darry Frost, was called to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He was born in Norfolk County, now Chesapeake, on August 26, 1957, to the late Augusta Frost and Rosa Marie Frost.  He was the tenth child of eleven siblings.  He was raised in Chesapeake, VA, in a community called “Gilmerton,” and graduated in 1976 from Deep Creek High School.

Darry was known for his fun-loving spirit. He was a devoted brother, uncle, and friend. He always tried his best to help anyone in need. One of his passions was cooking. He called himself a “Chef.” He always had good food anytime someone came to visit him. He had a wonderful sense of humor. Everyone enjoyed being around him because he was always able to bring laughter.

At an early age, he attended the First Baptist Church of Gilmerton. He was known as Nuck, Boston Burner, and Buttermilk. He was called Nuck because he always had his friends/family back. He truly loved sports. He played baseball, football, and basketball. He was good in all three sports. He got his nickname “Boston Burner” because he was a good basketball player. He was recognized in articles at Deep Creek High School for baseball. His favorite NFL football team was Dallas Cowboys. He could tell you about the stats on all the NFL and college football teams. His co-workers called him “Buttermilk” because he used to tell on everyone and got away with it.
