Daryl Strickland, District Lay Leader

I was born and raised in South Eastern North Carolina, graduated school in 1972.  Went to work for a large manufacturing company as a Field Engineer. I have been graced by God and given the privilege to travel and see the world through my job.

I am married to Joyce, we live in Elizabethtown and have 5 grand children which includes a set of 5 year old twin boys.  We have two rescue cats, one rescue dog, and my magic rabbit.

We are members of the Bladen Charge attending Live Oak UMC. I gratefully serve as the Sunday School superintendent and the Lay Leader.  I also, through the grace of God and the talents he has given me, am a professional Gospel magician.
