My dad was the best person to ever live i know he would support me through everything. I loved being his daughter because I was blessed by him and my dog snowy that I got when I was 6 years old by my dad who drove far to get her. When my dad passed away we had to wear vikings jerseys so I did. When I got home I put it on my sidebar in my room that night snowy grabbed it, kicked it , and then layed with it. It broke my heart to see that she knows he is gone to. All I know is he was the best man living on this earth. And me and snowy are blessed to be his daughters

I remember when Derrick was born. He was the tiniest little person that I had ever seen. I just wanted to hold him close but was only allowed to reach in and place my hands on him. I do not even know the words to use to describe how this makes me feel. My truest sympathy goes out to his family.
I love you all very much and forever.
May you rest in peace Derrick
Love Auntie Kris,

Derrick was the most genuine and humorous man out there, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been blessed with him as my uncle. He never failed at showing his love for his daughter, or for his nieces and nephews. He was a hard worker and was proud of not only his (many) accomplishments, but also the accomplishments of his family. Derrick brought light to every room he walked in to and never hesitate to show his care and appreciation for others; always making those in his life feel truly loved. His contagious laugh will forever be remembered, and Derrick will forever be loved. And we can live on knowing that he will forever love us too.

My brother was my bestfriend and I couldn’t and wouldn’t have chosen any brother other than him even if it was my choice, absolutely never ever. Me and derrick shared love, the strongest connection and a bond that nobody could compete with. We could talk about anything and everything and it was never weird or uncomfortable. I truly feel like I lost one of the only people that I could trust 100 percent with anything and everything. I truly don’t know how I am gonna live this life on earth without the one person that has always been by my side. I’m so lost and this earth lost such a Kind big hearted person, who was a smart and his sense of humour is gonna be impossible to live without. He was so forgiving, and he never talked about people never back stabbed or talked about people behind there backs, never judged and he always let anger go and had zero hate in his heart. Truly one of a kind my brother was and my heart will hurt until the end of time. Rip bro. I will forever love you. Always.

Derrick was an amazing father to his daughter Tamara who is my sister. He never failed to show his love for her. For awhile there he was my stepfather. He treated me like his own daughter. He was a fun loving, kind hearted, and hard working man. It hurts to see him go. Scrolling through looking at these comments almost a year later reminds me of that hurt I felt that day He passed. He was an amazing man who is missed by so many people. Even though he wasn’t my dad he was tamaras and he was always a huge part in my life. Rest in peace
