I remember when you protect and serve our community. You and your wife Rhonny be bless.

I just learned of Derrick's passing. I fondly remember Derrick at Adrian College. We were teammates and friends. What I remember most about him was his incredible inner strength, self-confidence and ability to connect with everyone. While it has been many years since we shared time together at AC, I will always remember "Diggs" for his passion, caring fort others and as a friend. RIP! Dave Markle aka "Chester"

Rest In Peace Derrick

Derrick was one of the first people I met at Adrian College. He has always been a favorite person in spite of not keeping in touch. He was known for being a tough football player and a kind person. Deepest sympathies to his family.

I met Derrick when i joined the Adrian College football team. I remember how fast he ran and what a natural leader he was. He always seem to work harder than anyone else. It´s sad to see him go. God bless him - Opie

I watched the amazing changes he made in Ft myers. The gangs feared him and he cleaned up that town. I wintered there for years and saw what he did . Rest in peace chief.
