Darryl Andrew Steel

August 8, 1953 — January 23, 2020

Gretna native Darryl Andrew Steel, age 66 died Thursday, January 23, 2020, after a decade long post-stroke rehabilitation. A proud graduate of St. Anthony Elementary School and Holy Cross High School, Darryl loved cars and trucks and had a fascination with vehicle motors from a very young age. With cousins and friends, he enjoyed visiting local sports racetracks. Darryl went on to complete General Motors Automotive School training, working on vehicles of all kinds most of his adult life and owning his own repair shop in his 30’s. Darryl was predeceased by his adoring parents, the late Julius Claude Steel, Sr. and Marie Rose Myhan Steel and his older brother, Barry Edward Steel. He is survived by his loving siblings, Julie Steel Bodin (Jan), Marie Theresa Steel, Julius Claude Steel, Jr. and Deacon Kevin Michael Steel (Carolyn); his loving Godchild, Brittany Louise Bodin and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. The family would like to especially thank Covenant Nursing Home New Orleans nurses and staff for many years of care, dear friend Kerry Wright for his countless compassionate visits to Darryl during his lengthy convalescence and to all who visited Darryl at Covenant House. A private Mass will be offered to remember Darryl and his love of family at Archbishop Shaw High School Chapel with the Salesian Priests officiating at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Saint Anthony Church and School, 924 Monroe Street, Gretna, Louisiana 70053 in memory of Darryl. MOTHE FUNERAL HOME is assisting the family during this difficult time. Family and friends may offer condolences at mothefunerals.com
