Sept. 18, 1990 - Oct. 11, 2016

Visalia

Derick passed away October 11, 2016. He was born in Visalia, CA on September 18, 1990. He was the joy in our lives.

He was an exceptionally unique and wonderful person. He was the friendliest person you could ever meet. He was fun and loving. He loved to skateboard and his passion was snowboarding.

Derick touched many people and will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially his family: father, Vince Vasquez and mother Vickie Maselli; step-parents, Virginia Vasquez and Christopher Maselli; younger brothers, Justin Vasquez and Chris Maselli; sisters, Valerie Vasquez, Macala Silva; grandparents, John & Gregoria Vasquez & Don & Nellie Miller; aunts, uncles, cousins and a new baby niece.

He will forever be remembered and loved. Services are pending.
