Derek will be greatly missed. We went to school with him. He was suck a caring, good, friendly, responsible friend. He always made sure his friends were happy. He enjoyed his life, family, friends, and can't forget hunting and working on cars. His spirit will carry on with everyone and will not be forgotten. May peace be with his family. Much love!

Derick will be missed by all that are in the Baum Family. He was a fine young man. We will miss him being here and working in the garage with his many projects (what a mechanic he was). We would be more than willing to offer our services or our shoulders if you are ever in need of them. Lots of love, Steve and Karen Baum
