I was completely shocked and saddened to hear the news of your passing. You were one of my closest friends when we were teenagers. That was such a long time ago but the memories I have of all the "adventures" we went on will last forever. Rest easy Derrick xo

Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight...must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle their lovely light will shine to brighten up another place more perfect...more devine.
And in the realm of Heaven, where they shine so warm and bright, our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light.
The loss is still unconsoleably painful.
Love Aunt Bev

This world, however beautiful, was never meant to be The place we would call our home for all eternity.
And though we would not choose to leave, a loving God knows best, And in His time He lifts us to a place of peace and rest.
For He has built a mansion where His children will abide Free from pain and sorrow, forever at His side.
We cannot judge what happens, though tears and questions start, We only see what's visible--God sees into the heart...
And though there may be many things that we cannot explain, We can be sure it breaks His heart to see His childen's pain. In loving arms He bears us to a quiet place apart Where He mends the wounded spirit and heals the broken heart.
And though these ones we love so much have left our present sight And passed into a better world of majesty and light, Someday we'll be together.
All My Love,
Aunt Beverly

Derrick you are the best partner at work and the best friend. You have the highest work ethics, a strong sense of responsibility, commitment and drive. I trusted and cared so much for you. You love your son and thought of him as the greatest person in the world. You taught me that all problems in life can be better with a kinder hand. You taught me things that seem out of reach can be attained if we do it together. You will be missed greatly.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Prayers and the most deepest feelings of sympathy to the Entire O'Neill Family. Though I only knew him these past 2+ years, he had a joyful & sincere impact on my son's life and mine also. We loved him dearly. Derrick was making plans & great strides working so very hard for a bright future. It was only Monday when I last hugged him goodbye. Had I known it would of been the last time I would see his smiling face, I would of never of let him out of my arms. My son Daniel lost his Best Friend, his right hand man & true confidant. I felt he was the second son I never had. We miss Derrick so very much. We will forever miss his kindness & enthusiasm for life and hard work ethics, his sincerity to care for others and his charm. He was an Extremely Well Respected Young Man by SO MANY people of all walks of life here in NH. A team of precision quality with high integrity, TEAM "Dan & Derrick" beautified homes & delighted proud home owners.
It was an honor & such a joy to know him. We will hold him in our hearts forever.
