My dad, Kelly Derrick, was diagnosed with aggressive cancer that has metastasized to several organs and his brain. Unfortunately, his cancer rapidly progressed, leaving limited time for our family to process and having to expedite the best care for him.
 
Any contributions will support his children, Kelsey and Mark Derrick, and his significant other Julie Cales with the medical expenses and comfort care he will need in the weeks to come. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you for the continued prayers as he fights,
The entire Derrick family

*01/24/22 Update: 

Kelly’s loved ones would like to humbly thank everyone who has donated to assist with his medical and final expenses. The outpouring of love, generosity, and support has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated. Kelly touched so many lives, which was clearly evident in this outpouring of support. 

It is with deep sadness that I inform you of Kelly’s passing earlier today. He was surrounded by family and his dedicated partner, Julie, who was by his side until the end, for which we will be forever grateful. 

Details regarding arrangements and services for Kelly will be forthcoming. Meanwhile, please accept our deepest gratitude from our family. 

Sincerely, 

The Derrick Family and Julie Cales
