On May 31, 2026, Derek’s remains were found. Our family is devastated by this unimaginable loss, and we are still trying to process the heartbreak of losing our beloved Derek. While our search for Derek has come to an end, our search for answers has not.
Many have reached out asking whether we plan to pursue a private investigator or an independent autopsy. These are options we would like to explore, but they come with significant costs. Continued support through this GoFundMe will help cover funeral expenses, investigative services, and other efforts to better understand the circumstances surrounding Derek’s passing. We are deeply grateful for every prayer, donation, message, and act of kindness shown to our family during this difficult journey. Thank you for helping us honor Derek’s life and memory.
