I just saw a post on FB about Derek. I dated him in the late 80's. He was such a great guy and was there for me when my father died. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family at this time.

Laura you are in my thoughts and prayers. We are all thinking of you and praying God will give you the strength and peace you need to make it through each day. One day at a time. Draw on the strength of your friends and family.

Laura, you are very much in my thoughts and prayers this morning as I asked that you would feel God's presence and strength through this day and all those to come. We loved Derek as a son and will never forget him and the fun times we all had together. He was such a good person and we have been blessed to have been a small part of his life. We love you, Laura and always will. To Derek: "Honey Hush" and "Load Up ??" I know that you will be teaching the angels to dance, my friend!!!

Laura-Ron and I are so sorry to hear of Derek's passing. We will always remember the fun times the 4 of us had when we got together, your pool party that we attended, Derek (and I think you) going to the beach with Ron and me, and I know Derek and Ron had countless memories of working together. Again, we are so sorry. Please know that you are in our prayers. Ron and Nancy Thornburg

We are saddened to hear of Derek's passing. He was a wonderful person and was greatly respected in the softball community. I never had the pleasure of playing on his team but we played against him in the league. Derek was always a great competitor with a great attitude. He always had a smile on his face and often picked and cut up with the other teams. We will miss seeing him at Beeson Park. There are very few people who have his personality and his will be missed at the ballpark. Our prayers are with you and your family.
