I was very sorry to hear of Derrick's death. I was a friend of Candace, Ann and Kathy during high school. I will remember him fondly as Candace's kid brother.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Derrick at a Personal Training conference in 1996, we became friends and he introduced me to Mountain Biking and the Dave Matthews band...both of which I still love. I have never found a mountain biking partner who was nearly as much fun as Derrick. We had a lot of laughs. Will miss my friend.

Derrick, Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and neighbor over these many years. We had so much fun growing up on Redmond street, thanks for the memories. Your positive attitude and zest for life is a example for the rest of us to follow. I know you are now with the Lord in joyful bliss in the company of your old friends Mary, Ann Marie and Ronnie and you parents. Thank you for your gift of Randi to us, we will take good care of her. Love, Kris

To the family and loved ones of Derrick: I learned of Derrick's passing the day after Ken's memorial service. We both thought so much of Derrick - he shared his experiences dealing with leukemia, and we were convinced that he had it beaten. His passing would have hurt Ken deeply. I hope they're together looking down at us.

Derrick,
I never think of you without that mischiefness twinkle in your eye. Some people wait for life to happen. You always made it happen. Maybe now we know why.
You also spent a good part of your short life finding the right partner. Again, Randi answers that question of why.
We will all miss you!

Derrick was in my graduating class, and was my friend. We had a lot of fun cutting up in class, and getting ourselves into our share of trouble!!
He was such a free spirit, always laughing, and always kind. That was what attracted so many of us to his circle of friends.
Rest in peace sweet Derrick.

Derrick,
You are now in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ where there is no pain, but the utmost joy. I know Ron and Ann Marie were there to greet you as you crossed over. Someday we we all meet again and maybe we will enjoy a game of "kick the can" in the heavens.
Randi,
Derrick was so blessed to be loved by you. You showed him the true meaning of love by your unselfish devotion and caring.
Candy and Linda,
I know the heartache of losing a brother, and I will lift you up in prayer. May God bring you peace and comfort.

Derrick was one of my most favorite patients. He and I had SO many great conversations and it is so hard to believe he is gone. I will truly miss his smiling face and upbeat spirit.
Randi- Derrick was so lucky to have such a devoted and loving companion. He ALWAYS told me how thankful he was that you were a part of his life and how much he appreciated all you did. You really are an amazing woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
