Rest In Peace cousin. You will be missed. You left us too soon and hurt the family with this one. We hadn’t had to deal with a death since Madea’s passing. May your soul rest in the arms of the Lord. I love you ❤

Beloved families of Derrick Jr.,
Death of a love one can takes your breath away and the grief you feel seems unbearable (especially of one so young) know that God is watching over you and will supply whatever you need.
I pray God 's consolation, grace, mercy and favor upon the family.
Focus on the joyous times you shared and keep his memories close in heart. Derrick was a blessing and loved! It seem dreary now, but God's rainbow is coming , it's only a prayer away! Be blessed always.

With heartfelt sympathy,
Brenda "Kay" Carter Family
(Cousin)
