Derek Osborne

His bright eyes and cheerful face
Are so pleasant to recall,
He had a loving word for each,
And died beloved by all.

As time passes, I wanted to let all of you know that you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I hope and pray that in time your family will find the strength to overcome this horrible tragedy and I pray that the pain and sadness each of you are enduring will subside and you will heal.

In my thoughts always,
Michelle Gallant

I met Ozzy about 5 years ago when we were both entered in the Windsor Cup together. He was the type of guy that you never forget he becomes a friend the moment you met him.
Ozzy always used the phrase No Pain No Gain, and now the Pain of his loss in our lives can only be replaced by the Gain of knowing and spending time with such a gentle giant.
Love Ya Ozzy

I am absolutely heartbroken for your tragic loss. Know that the thoughts and prayers of many are with you.

Although we didn't know Derek just reading the guest book tells us of how loved and how special a person he was to everyone who knew him. Knowing his aunt and uncle, Peggy & Dwayne Bezaire, we know that family is so important. May you all find some peace in your memories of Derek and your time together. May God bless you and keep your family strong at this extremely difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.
The Lunardi family.

I don't have a lot of memories of Derek, but the ones I do have are good ones. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, and I was picked on a lot. But Derek would stand up for me and he made me feel part of the crowd. He always had this ear to ear smile that would melt away my frustrations and sadness. It was so amazing to me, that the most popular guy in school would do this for me. Derek you have touched my life in ways you never would have known, you will be missed by everyone.

Dear Osborne Family,
Derek was a great inspiration to my brother and I. Ever since we were young we looked up to him in the gym. He was a great human being and there should be more people like him in this world. Nothing in this world can replace the loss of him. All that can be done now is to remember how great of a man, friend, brother, son he was to all. He will be deeply missed by EVERYONE. Hearing the news of his tragic death breaks my heart tremendously. He helped me through some tough times in the summer and I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Osborne family. Jay, Alex, Kenny and Johnny you guys stay strong and never forget the great man Derek Osborne.

Sending love and respect all the way from Nova Scotia

My thoughts have been with Derek's loved ones since I heard the news. I only met him a few times when visiting Windsor to see my boyfriend Mike. Although I didn't know Derek very well, he always made me feel like I was a part of the Windsor crew, and he was a great friend to Mikey. I know they are both watching over all of us, and will be remembered forever. My deepest condolences to those who's lives he touched.

"Fly like a bird, take to the sky." You will be forever missed
