DEREK ALLEN PAUL
Derek Allen Paul was born on August 5, 1974, in Washington, DC. He died unexpectedly on April 28, 2016, in his home in Springfield, Virginia.
He grew up in Fairfax County and attended Oak View Elementary school.
He attended Hayfield Secondary school and graduated from Paul VI High School in 1992. He attended George Mason University where he enjoyed playing club football.
Derek lived most of his adult life in Springfield, VA.
In 1993 he started Derek's Detailing, an automotive detailing business. In 1995 he expanded his business and became owner Operator of Cutting Edge Solutions where he did power washing and maintenance for builders such as Brookfield Homes and Stanley Martin Homes.
Derek loved to fish, golf and ski. He loved the beach and being the detailer he was, he loved to clean. Derek was a happy, giving person. He was always available to lend a hand whether it was mowing lawns or shoveling snow Derek's neighbors could count on Derek to help with any "heavy lifting".
People who knew him best knew that Derek was almost always behind schedule. They also know that On My Way was the expression he texted most often... though he seldom was.
Derek's greatest passion was attending Steelers games with his Big Sister although he missed more than one due to tardiness.
Derek is survived by a daughter, Victoria, his mother, Lori Paul, his sister, Kelly Paul, with whom he lived in Springfield, his Godson, Nate Rivi, and numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins, and many loving friends.
