Derik Nelson was an inspiration to all of us, a wonderful father, husband, and friend. He fought hard every day in his battle with cancer, keeping his sense of humor and determination to succeed.   We will all miss him dearly.  Nothing can replace Derik, and the wonderful things he brought to us but I hope by setting up this fundraiser, friends and family can help his wife and children cover expenses that they may encounter during this loss.  Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes.
