Daryl Eugene Cumber, 67, Lockeford, CA -
Surrounded by his loving family, Daryl entered into heaven peacefully at home under hospice care on May 20th. He was born January 2, 1949 in Rib Lake, Wisconsin. He was the fourth child of 
Harold and Cordelia Cumber. He met the love of his life Sharon Weaver at Wausau East High School where they both graduated in 1967. They were married on August 3, 1968 in Wausau, WI. They had two daughters, Jessie and Jodi, and six grandchildren.
They moved to Tracy, CA in 1977 where he began to work as a ceramic tile setter apprentice. He learned the trade quickly and excelled. Within a few years, he obtained his contractor’s license and worked independently, completing beautiful custom tile, marble and stone designs and installations. He worked all over the Central Valley and Bay Area and some of his work can still be viewed at sites such as Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. He is remembered by the people he worked with as one of the most talented in his field and one of the most generous and fun-loving guys to work with.
Daryl moved to Lockeford, CA in 2002, with Sharon, where he resided until his passing.
Daryl was an avid Green Bay Packers fan, and enjoyed watching the games. He visited Lambeau Field whenever he got the chance. He liked to fish, collect antiques, loved old classic cars and was in the process of restoring his ’67 GTO. One of his favorite things to do was to spend time with his grandchildren whether it was watching their sports events, attending piano recitals or just hanging out and talking.
He is survived by his wife, Sharon Cumber (Weaver), daughters Jessie Vickers (Larry) Lodi, CA and Jodi Leonardo (Johnny) Lodi, CA.
