I will never forget the great times we had cruising Gratiot!! And how you loved to pick up up the girls.you will truly be misses 

Derek was one of the happiest individuals I’ve ever met. He always had a smile on his face, and never complained. He was very down to earth and patient with those around him. He will be sorely missed.


There are to many memories to post here.  I can not pick just one.  Burt Reynolds passed away on the same day as my buddy Derek.  Do you know how many times we make smokey and the Bandit references just for a laugh? 
Derek would get a laugh out of me saying:  “This is Sherriff Buford T. Justice and I am in hot pursuit of the Bandit” as the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) and Derek raced together into the gates of Heaven.  

Deepest loving condolences to our dear friends / family.  Love and blessings always 

There's has never been anyone that could be likened to the energy that had always been Derek. From our trips to the car show in St Ignace in the late eighties where we didn't sleep from Thursday until Sunday to the "Toronto wedding" to the Sunday nights roller skating and on and on and on, the pure joy of sheer time spent together will remain unmatched forever. I loved this man like no other regardless of the intertwining of our life's paths. A true companion Derek was always and shall forever be for me. Without fail offering his time and efforts to reduce my load in life this man was without compare. Every day will I be reminiscing our wondrous times spent together. Godspeed my dear, dear beautiful friend. I loved you like no other. 

I met Derek when I coached football at FHS and he played for me. From that day on he became a good friend and was very dedicated. He had a gift with his mind and hands and was always very genuine whenever you talked with him even if he didn’t see you for a while he was always engaged. My prayers to family and friends as I will always have special memories of Derek as a player and friend.

My heart is with your family.  You were such a positive and happy person. May you Rest In Peace friend 

I am so sorry for your family's loss! He was such a great guy. I remember him from as early as Edison, to getting to hang out last year, to just randomly bumping into him around the area. I am so sad for all of you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! May you rest in heaven Derek. I will miss you my friend.
