Darrel E. Sparks, a 68-year-old resident of a Pueblo, Colorado nursing home, went missing in late December 2025 after leaving the facility and not being seen again. Authorities were notified and the Pueblo Police Department opened an investigation, but few details have been released publicly about the search or any leads.

Sparks is described as a white male, 69 inches tall, about 163 pounds, with gray or partly gray hair, blue eyes and tattoos of an unknown design on his arms. The circumstances of his departure, his intended destination and what he was wearing or carrying when he left remain unknown.

Anyone who knew Sparks, saw him that day, or has information that could help locate him is asked to contact the Pueblo Police Department.
