Derek and I grew up in the same neighborhood and we were best friends. We used to ride our bikes, go swimming, play in his backyard on his swing set every day. I moved out of the neighborhood when I was 14 and we lost contact for a couple of years. I met up with him again and we used to hang out almost every day. He would make me laugh all the time and he was so fun to be around. I remember driving around with him and listening to his favorite music with not a care in the world and seeing the smile on his face and hearing him laugh made me so happy. I was devastated when I heard he had died for him and his family and I will always love and miss him. He was a true friend and I will never forget him.

Sorry to hear of Dereks passing. He was always a polite awesome kiddo when I knew him at a young age and the times I saw him after high school. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
