Miss him

I'm going to miss Derek, he always had a smile on his face and always a story to tell. I was fortunate to have gotten to do two remodels for them. See you in heaven some day. Dave

Derek, You were such an awesome big brother and just a very special human being. So grateful for the trips we´ve taken the last few years those memories will be close to my heart forever Hope you and Dad are sitting around a campfire telling stories

It's hard to lose anyone especially like this! I've been friends with Derek for 50 years (shortly after moving here). We've shared good times together from being on a ridge to river team (The out to lunch team), playing on a pool league (they let me stay even if I was terrible) and cross-country skiing. Great memories! Sad to see it end but glad to know he was a believer. I'll see you again my friend!

Such a sad loss to his family and friends. What an incredible family he grew up in and he and Debbie raised their own incredible family. His spirit will remain with each of them through stories and memories. My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to each of you.

I played pool with Derek a few times at his house up Stemilt Hill, probably 16 years ago. Those were fun times! Sorry to hear about his passing.
