It is with heavy hearts that we are here today for the passing of Derick Jerome Samuels. He was 46. Derick earned his wings on May 18, 2025. Derick was born November 20, 1978 in Galveston County, and was a lifelong resident of Baytown, TX.
He was a jack-of-all-trades: electrician, mechanic, driver, plumber, etc. You name it, he'd fix it. He was currently employed at JSW Steel. Known for his generosity-giving you the shirt off his back if you needed it-he was a loving father and friend to his boys, always sharing crazy stories with them. He lived a good life. Derick Samuels was a loving husband to Katy Vojacek and a devoted father to Kylar, Jaggar, and Kash.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, Mother Shonda, Father Wills, 3 brothers Anthony, Alex & Kevin, 1 sister Natalie, and Aunt Bridget.
He enjoyed fixing older model cars, barbecuing, being with his boys, and life itself. We will forever cherish the memories of our beloved D-Day.
