Vernon Darrel Seats, 75, resident of Deming, passed away on Sunday, April 7, 2024 at his home. He was born in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where he set high school records in track which were not broken for more than 20 years. Darrel made the mountains of New Mexico his home, raising five children here, after choosing to bring his family in the early 1980s. Darrel loved bringing his kids into the surrounding mountains on picnics, day hikes, and camping trips. He drove in the rain with his older daughter, wound along one-lane switchbacks in tanker trucks with his younger daughter, hiked Cooke’s Peak with his twin sons, and climbed the Florida’s Needle’s Eye with his oldest son, along with climbing over and around countless mountains of New Mexico and Arizona, both visible and invisible from Deming.
Darrel held many jobs, coming out West to leave behind a management position at a retailer to become a core driller, camping and sampling from all over the Southwestern ranges. Moving closer to home as his number of children increased, Darrel became a welder and a mechanic. He kept samples from places all over our mountains, and passed them on to his children, just as he made gifts of little side welding projects. He was a Mason since 1995, always understanding that stories were told in the stones above and below the ground.
