With the unexpected loss of my father, we decided to set this campaign up because we believe it is something he would be proud of and would appreciate so much more than flowers that will just necessarily be thrown away in time so, In lieu of flowers for my fathers service if you'd like to donate to Derek's beloved grandsons college education it would be greatly appreciated. Everyone who knows Derek knows his whole life revolved around his family and his grandson Brantley. He had a standing date every Saturday to spend time with him and checked on him daily through phone calls. Derek had opened up an account for his grandson Brantley almost a year ago and would regularly deposit any amount he could spare at the time, he is greatly missed and we believe this is what he would've wanted.
