Derek Dean Pritchett

I will miss Derek we had a lot of good times and i have alot of good memories i send my love to all our family through this hard time

Derek was my cousin and he'll be missed alot, not just by me, but by alot of other people. He knew alot more people than I knew about, and I knew him pretty well. We didn't party or hang out as much as we should have, but I've known him my whole life and wish that it would've been the rest of my life as well. Derek was a real kind hearted guy with a good sense of humor and we'll all miss him very much.

I will miss Derek more then ever. He is a very loving man and I will not forget his great sinse of humor. I met Derek through my neighbors about 5 years ago and I love him like he was my own family. Derek- I miss you and want you to know you will always be in my heart!
Love Always, Tanya

Derek will greatly be missed, not only as my cousin but my friend. He always made everybody in the room smile. Derek had a way of putting everybody else first and then taking care of him self last. His smile and his love for the out doors will greatly be missed. Thanks for that last hug when I was down, wish I could return the favor.

My heartfelt condolences to Derek's family. I was saddened and shocked to hear of his death. I haven't seen Derek since high school, but I remember him well. He was a gentle soul with a clever grin. May we all find peace in knowing that he will be there to welcome us into "the other side." God Bless Derek's soul and God bless his family and friends - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

There aren't enough words to express
our sympathy for your loss. We are
thinking of you all. Love you.
Steve & Linda Davis, Mike & Steph Davis & family, Michelle & Brian Austin & family

I regret for not having been a better aunt to you than I could have been. But here is my fondest memory. I remember when you and your brother Danny were really little, your mom and I took you to see the "Kiss" music concert. You boys wanted to see the group close up, so we took you boys down on the floor right next to the stage so you could see them. Some young men were behind us, and to keep you boys out of harms way they had gathered both of you up and put you on their shoulders. I wish...

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Derek other than what his mother told me. But my heart goes out to Loyeen & Dwight in the lose of their son. And to Stephanie & Sonya & Danny in the lose of their brother. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I know that right now words seem so empty. But I am here for you when you need me.

My deepest sympathy goes to Derek's family. I haven't kept up with Derek in a long time, but I do still tell stories about the good old days when we were kids. I wish I had stayed in contact with Derek as 'adults'. Derek you will always be missed - see you on the other side.
