LIMERICK, MAINE—Darrel C. Cadett, 66, of Limerick, died Sunday April 27, 2025 at his home. He was born February 18, 1959 in Stoney Creek, Connecticut, the son of Henry Cadett, Sr. and Betty (Johnson) Cadett. Darrel grew up in Branford and Wallingford, Connecticut. He loved farm tractors and growing up on a farm and working with his uncle. He worked at several jobs, over the years before becoming a truck driver. He worked for Fed Ex in Connecticut and Florida, Trucks, Inc and eventually for A. Duie Pyle. Darrel married the love of his life, Pamela (Hatt) “PJ” on June 1, 2019 and they moved to Maine in 2020 as he continued to work for Pyle. He became ill and was no longer able to drive.
In his off time, Darrel enjoyed fishing, gardening and helping at the Apple Valley Campground where he and Pam were seasonal campers. He was always known as a hard-working man, often taking second jobs just because he loved to work. He worked for many years handling and selling used pallets, a job he enjoyed very much. All that met Darrel loved him and saw the dedication, passion for his work and the love he had for Pamela whom he introduced to them, “This is my beautiful wife Pamela, the love of my life.”
Darrel was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Pamela; his children, Mary Rivera and her husband Dereck of Acton, Jessica Cadett of Florida and Joe Leonardo of Florida; his grandchildren, Matthew Munro, Kamdyn Stanton, Willow and Domitri Broadhurst; his step-children, Darrell Blank, III and Amy, Ryan Blank and Savanna, Jennifer Mendoza and her husband Billy and Jeffrey Blank; his step-grandchildren, Hannah Lynn Goode, Ryan Blank, Jr., Savanna Blank and Darrell Blank, IV; many nieces and nephews and his siblings, Edward Cadett of Arizona, Henry Cadett, Jr. of Wallingford and Beverly Burgess and her husband Larry of Greenville, Maine.
