So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at
2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God
I met Darrell Kilman when I was a math student at UCA. He was my favorite professor in math. He was always kind and cheerful and helpful He always helped me with anything I did not understand. I tried hard to take as many classes with Dr. Kilman as I could take. I needed more hours for a pay raise, I did have a masters degree and found several classes that were available for teacher in math that he taught. I always enjoyed going to that class. The last time I saw him, we talked. Made me smile that he still knew him.

We are so sorry for your loss, but rejoice in that Darrell is in his eternal home with his Lord whom he served faithfully.
Anneil and Family,
Deborah and I are grieved and saddened by your loss. Darrell was a guide to me as a callow young professor, a person who was a touchstone as to what was right and wrong in both teaching and life. He helped shape what I am and will always be part of me. I have so many good memories of this caring and good man and they are such a comfort at this time.
Kilman family- I am so sorry! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers! He was a special man. Mary-Catherine
Ray and I are sadden by the loss of a great teacher and a wonderful friend of fifty years. We send our thoughts and prayers to the Kilman family. We cherish many fond memories of Dr. Kilman's kindness. Although he was a master of his course content and held students to a high standard, he was always encouraging and understanding of his students. One outstanding characteristic that showed how much Dr. Kilman cared for his students was that he followed us long after we had graduated and had become educators ourselves. I will never forget how, many years ago, he sought me out at a gathering I happened to be at in Conway to tell me that students I had taught at North Little Rock High School always did well in math at UCA. His stamp of approval meant so much to me!
So sorry for all of Darrell's family. We will miss him at Autumn Manor board meetings. He was a faithful member as long as he could make it. Please except our sincere sympathy as his family finds peace. He was a friend I will miss greatly.
Mr. Kilman’s family, we are sorry for your loss. But more so, 1 Peter 5:7 says Almighty God cares for you and 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 tells us that He, the hearer of prayer, consoles and encourages us in any kind of distress.
Annell, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you.
To the Kilman family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Mr. Kilman during elections. Your family will be in our prayers.
Annell,
I’m so sorry to read about Darrell. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Love,
Melissa
Anneil, I am so sorry. I have been and will continue to pray for you.
Annell and family, please know you are in my prayers for comfort. In sincere sympathy......
