Deric Mullen. Hands down the hardest working man I have ever met, bar none. I remember working with Deric at the grain elevator and he would do the jobs that most men wouldn't or couldn't, whether it be cleaning the bootpits, or up in God's country as we called it, sliding downspouts or sweeping out grain bins. Oftentimes he'd do the work of 2 or more men by himself and truth be known, I think he liked it that way. Deric was a man that would do anything to help you anyway he could, even if...

What a great guy! I havent had much contact with Deric since high school, but it was so nice to see him a few years ago at our class reunion. He still had that smile that seemed to always be there, a love of laughter and still the same hard-working guy I grew up knowing. He would have done anything for anybody. My thoughts and prayers are with his mother and family during this unexpected time. I am so sorry for your loss. Peace and love be with you all!

Although Ive been away from the area for many years, I easily remember Derics easy honest smile. As a teenager, he would cock his head a little sideways in a bashful way. There was definitely some orneriness there but plenty of goodness too. We spent many years working on 4-H projects and Im sure I helped show sheep for Deric and his brother more than once. Im so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
