To know Derek, was to love him. He did not know a stranger. He showed friendship, loyalty, and respect to every person that he came across. Derek had a contagious laugh and a smile that lit up every room. He was dedicated to being the very best person that he could be. He loved his family and friends and ensured to remind them of that daily.
Derek was a devoted partner to his fiancé, Morgan DeLuca. Their love was a once in a lifetime bond, it was magic. From the moment they met, everyone knew that they were soul mates. Together, they traveled so that he could race motocross, which was his favorite thing to do. They spent many weekends away together, laughing and racing. He was a standup man that ensured his love was felt by her, and by everyone that he loved, every day. Derek's love will always be cherished and will never be forgotten.
He was preceded in death by grandparents, Benedict J. and Mary Perzanowski, Roger and Carol Feller; uncles, Mark Feller, Dean Feller, Bruce Fellure, Jimmy Perzanowski; aunt, Nancy Monteleone.
