Derek Mathieu Larson

Loved this guy, saw him 17 hours before he died... Wish I could change everything. That day my bro and him were with each other... I separated them at Wal-Mart. Haunts me... Beer pong, skating at Rio Vista, Union.To this day 7 years later. Some of the best times of my life are with this man. Miss you everyday.

It was so brave of your family to release Derek's spirit and acknowledge that it was drugs that destroyed the joy that Derek could bring to life. We pray that your family can find the strength and peace that you need after such a tragedy. You don't need to walk alone.

I lost my brother due to drugs as well. Stay close with your family and things will get easier. It might seem impossible, but just try to be open, and I promise things will get easier. R.I.P.
