Derek was more than a friend-he was a light in our lives. His laughter, kindness, and loyalty touched everyone he met. I´ll always cherish the memories, the deep talks, and the quiet moments we shared. Derek made people feel seen and loved. Though the world feels dimmer without him, his spirit lives on in all of us. Rest easy, my dear friend. You are deeply missed and forever loved.

My memories of Derek were so we'll described in the tribute to him. Exactly as I remembered him. Larger than life personality, very caring & charitable human being. So glad to have known him. My deepest sympathies to all his family. I know he has left a huge hole in your hearts
