Later
that evening some of Detroit's
top performers, including Motown's Martha Reeves and the
Vandellas, staged a benefit for Bank's family. The
Chronicle reported that it "drew a turnaway
crowd". The
money gathered established a trust fund for Darrell's
children. He was survived by Darrell Edward Jr, aged nine,
and Bamby Lynn, eight, who were then living with their
Mother, Beverly K Simon in California. Darrell
also had five brothers and one sister.

Thanks

to the
Darrell Banks Memorial
the project is now fully funded and on Memorial
