Derek Tra McConnell

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Rest in peace you are our hero...

Derek, you service to our country is heroic. My prayers out to you, family and friends. Rest in Peace.

I am an Army Mom and Derek could have very well been my own son. There are no real words to express the sorrow we feel when someone losses a son, a fiancé...but I know that he will be with you always in spirit. Rest easy son...God bless you all.

Derek, you will always be in our hearts.You are a true inspriation to all who know you. May God hold you in his hands until we meet again.

MY PRAYS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Derek Tra McConnell, Thank You for service to our country, no words I can say will stop the hurt to your family and friends with God brining you home.. All i can say its Hero's like you who make our country strong by those who swore a OATH to God and Country and put themselves in harms way to secure and protect our Freedom & Liberties... As a Military Brother I want to say is THANK YOU and God Bless you for being strong and helping others to know FREEDOM IS NOT FREE... RIP Derek T. McConnell...

condolences & godspeed on your final journey

I didn't know Derek personally but came to know him, Krystina, and Siobhan through Team Derek. When I read the news of his passing, it hurt so much that I can't begin to imagine what you all are feeling right now. Derek fought so valiantly to get better with Krystina right there with him every step of the way. Truly an inspiration! Derek, thank you for your service and sacrifice; you will NEVER be forgotten.
