Wow... I know I'm years late and even with more time I wouldn't have the right words to say. I lost touch when I changed careers but Derrick was indeed a kind and gentle soul. Generally quiet but he was always heard. I hate that I didn't get a chance to see that wonderful smile once more. Rest on buddy. Though some time has passed, it still feels like yesterday. My sincere condolences to the family and friends.

Derrick - I don't even know where to begin, but I know the past 16 years are full of great memories that will never end... from Sunday dinners, our movie debates, meaningful conversations, vacations, and so much more . There are so many words that can be said about our friendship, but what's understood doesn't have to be explained.
You left without a goodbye, but only God knows why. I will miss you my friend, but of course I'll tell you all about it afterwhile, because your love for God assures me I'll see you again...continue to take your rest. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

I remember Derrick and his sister Mimi from church where their mom brought them while were small. Both beautiful & quite with such sweet spirits. He grew into a very handsome young man. May the peace of GOD comfort the hearts of your family and friends.

My friend and brother you left me to soon...Thank you for sharing with me your brotherhood, wonderful trips and being their when I truly needed a "BEST FRIEND". I'm lost without you man.....I know that GOD has a big/better calling for you-but for right now, I'm mourning. I will never forget you man.....I guess the saddest moment is when the person who gave you great memories, becomes a wonderful memory of life. Mom, told me to tell you hello and she truly misses you as well....Our last goodbye was never said...But that's OK-I never believed in goodbye's anyway...You are still here with us and we will keep your spirit alive.....We will be strong/pray for you and your family, because you are loved and will continued to be loved every day in this life and the next my brother....You are FREE from this life and we will see you one day again.....You are near, even if I don't see you, You are with us, even if you are far away. Derrick you will always be in our hearts, thoughts, life, ALWAYS....Luvv you man 4-ever....Gregg and Gertrude
