Darryl Edward Wentland was born October 21st,1962 in Little Falls, MN to Louis and Eleanor Wentland. Darrly was one of 8 siblings that grew up on a farm in Holdingford, MN. Darryl attended Holdingford High School and graduated in 1980 where he participated in football and wrestling and even took the crown as Homecoming King. He went on to Willmar Votec to become very talented in welding. Darryl married Carmen Yvonne Prokott on January 20th, 1990 in Bowlus, MN and together they raised 5 wonderful boys in Bowlus: Jordan (Heather) Wentland, Kyle (Hope) Wentland, Luke (Amanda) Wentland, Jake (Taylor) Wentland, and Cole Wentland. When Darryl wasn’t busy being the “fun” parent at home wrestling and playing football with the boys, he spent his days working various jobs in specialized and custom welding, doing anything and everything outdoors, and hosting any sort of get-together he could come up with. People will most certainly miss his kind heart, his goofy nature, and willingness to help everyone.
Darryl passed away on January 26th, 2026 at his home in Albany, MN.
Darryl is preceded in death by parents (Louis and Eleanor), his sisters (Debbie & Sharon Prokott) and survived by remaining siblings (Donny & Mary, Dale & Linda, Pat & Ann, Darice & Dan, Gary & Ann, Lori & Mike), Carmen Wentland, his children (Jordan & Heather, Kyle & Hope, Luke & Amanda, Jake & Taylor, Cole), and his 5 grandchildren (Emma, Brady, Liam, Amelia, Andrew).
A celebration of life will be held at the Bowlus Community Center on Monday, February 16th, 2026 from 12:00-6:00. The family would like to welcome everyone to share memories, stories, and prayers starting at 3:00.
