No words can truly express my deepest sympathy for the loss of this young man. Stephanie and John, so very sorry you have had this loss. I know that he will be there to help you guide Korbin thru his life. Deepest, heartfelt sympathy for the entire Hull family.

For many years, I taught at Central schools. Because I taught Special Education, I did not have the honor of having Derrick in class but I saw him in action in the hall and lunchroom. Several times I saw him show kindness and special consideration to my students which was not the case with some other students. I watched him play football and wrestle. Derrick was a class act! He will be missed....
My prayers are with your family and his friends at this tough time.
