Derrick Brooks

Derrick will be in my heart and my soul forever! He´s missed but I know he is watching over us and helping us when we ask. I bet he´s such a great angel!

I met Derrick over our mutual love of gardening. I only knew him a few short months and was saddened to learn of his passing. He was a very kind and thoughtful person and will be missed at Penthouse Groves. RIP Derrick.

Words are nothing more then an attempt to hide actions unfulfilled Derek never let anyone down including myself when I was homeless he housed me when I was hungry he fed me when I had no clean clothes he provided me with the space to clean my clothes his friendship will forever resonate in my mind his spirit will forever resonate in my soul this man seen me in such extreme circumstances and with no fear he rescued me. He had absolutely no care on how the people would treat him when he got me...

Derrick was so special to me. He made my day every time we´d meet in the elevator or I´d run into him at the condo. It was so touching to see him and Steve with his mom in her finest. Derrick touched my heart. Yes we did love Christmas at the condo. I´m heartbroken to hear he had a series of maladies at the end. It´s over now. Our most sincere condolences to Steve and his family.

Sending my deepest condolences to the family My sweet friend Derrick! A blessing to have known such a kind and loving human being. Christmas and Karaoke will never be the same! I will continue to grow more beautiful orchids in memory of him. Rest in sweet Derrick Brooks.

Derrick meant a great deal to me as my significant other and friend. I will always cherish the wonderful travels we went on, the fabulous Christmas´s we spent together, and his twinkling eyes when he smiled. Such a generous heart and adventurous spirit. He will definitely be missed. His untimely passing has left me devastated. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to his family whom I also love dearly. May flights of angels sing you to your rest my beloved brother-friend.

Derrick and the Brooks family will always be important to the Smock family. We have so many memories of spending time together. Derrick always went above and beyond to make things nice - no matter the occasion. When my son died, Derrick helped Eileen call me to offer condolences...he made sure I could understand what his mom was saying to me. I am grateful for the life-long friendship, laughs, learning, and facing the challenges of life with our neighbors and friends, the Brooks´. I hope you...

Derrick was a friend that I met at Karaoke. He was always so complimentary and so positive. He was so kind to his parents and took such good care of his Mom. I loved to hear him sing Broadway songs. I loved the clothes he wore so fashionable!! He wanted to do a duet with me and I wondered why i didn´t see him again . I´ve thought about him often. I will miss him and his smile and personality. Rest In Peace my friend. I´m so happy to have known you !!

Derrick was one of the first individuals I met after moving to Gulfport, FL (St Pete) in 2017. We met at O'Maddy's during karaoke. Derrick was a regular there and after introducing himself and finding out I was new to the area, he introduced me to at least 10 other persons. That was one of the traits that I admired about Derrick. He has remained one of my close friends. We spoke on the phone last weekend and were looking forward to seeing each other at karaoke again. Derrick will always be...
