Dear Edna, Ronnie, Deanna and Family,

I really don't know what to say. Our hearts are broken with yours. Please know that we are praying for you all and may the "Peace that passes all understanding" be with you. We will always remember Derek with great fondness. I remember when he was born, just a couple of months after Lori and how much they played together. Even when they got older and though we had moved away, they were able to keep in touch. My parents had gotten some special books...

Miss Edna, Mr. Ronnie, Deanna and family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are of Derek, Brent and myself waking Mr. Ronnie up on the couch playing music until the wee hours of the morning. There was a time when we were all three were like brothers, and even though Derek and I hadn't kept in touch like we needed to, it feels like I have lost a brother. I pray for your comfort in this time of grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. Derek and I had many, many years of friendship between us. I'll never forget the Valentines Day Sweetheart Dance we went to in 1988. Over the years we stayed in touch, even after high school and all the band adventures we went on together. He is a treasure to me and has been for almost 20 years. We vowed to stay "buddies forever". I love him and will miss him deeply. Thank you for having such a wonderful son that turned into a wonderful man, father, and friend. I...

It has been since high school since I have known Derek, but I know what a wonderful person he was. He had such a wonderful heart. He was my best friend. He will be missed by all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Derek was a good man. A devoted and loving father, son, brother and friend. He had a big heart, a kind and generous nature, and was beautiful in both body and spirit. He will live on through his children and through his family's memories, and will never be forgotten.

Derek, your death was tragic and untimely, but you are at peace now. When you've been welcomed by the Father and the Son, St. Peter has given you the grand tour, and you have had a chance to reunite with your...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Derek, just like the song you sang many times doing karaoke.May jesus be looking at you face to face saying...sweet child of mine!You were a dear friend and roommate. to my daughter(Christitina).You will always be missed but, remembered as one of the most gentle men that i have ever known..may God bless your family and friends and comfort them in there time of sorrow

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. There is not a day that goes by that we do not miss Phillip and wish he was here with us. I know that Derek will be missed just as much and the heart aches will be as painful. There is nothing to compare to the loss of your child.
