Derek Alexander Morrison

My thoughts and prayers go out you the Morrison family. Derek was a great person... he always knew a way to make me laugh even if it was flashing a goofy smile. Trips to Giant won't be the same with out being about to run up to him and say hey... he will truely be missed!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Morrison and Shriner Families. Trust in God, he will bring you through this hard time.

I remeber Derek mostly from growning up at First United Presbyterian. I will never forget the time he filled in for Grant at that one pagent, how much he HATED the woodwind dance in the marching show my freshman year, or the 'Derek for President' pictures he passed out to the band that same year. He has made a greater impact then I am sure he ever expected.
Gretchen, Steve, Grant, my heart breaks for you... you are forever in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Derek's passing. He was my husband's student, but I always enjoyed his quick wit and friendly smile. My prayers and condolences are with your family.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Derek at Big Spring Middle School. He was a gifted musician and had a wonderful sense of humor - I can still 'see' him making the whole band laugh! Looking over the other remembrances, it is clear that Derek will live on in the fond memories of everyone who knew him.

To the entire family:
We know that God allows good to come out of everything we do not understand. We pray that He will embrace you in his loving arms until that good is made known to us. In the meantime,take your burdens to the Lord and know you have a personal angel in Heaven who will be watching over you. All of you will be in our prayers, but let us know if we can do anything else. We love you!
