My name is Taylor Behlau-Derr. My father, Nate died tragically on November 10, 2025.

Due to unforseen circumstances surrounding his divorce, his wife is refusing to help, which is holding up the process for financial help and the family wants to move forward. I am asking for donations to help with services because he didnt have life insurance.

Nathan “Nate” D. Derr Sr. Died suddenly as a result of an accident on November 10, 2025 at age 47.

Nate was born the son of the late Steven E. Derr and Rebecca Rowe-Derr-Powers on January 6th 1978 at Newark Wayne Community Hospital. He attended Newark High School and was in the class of 1996 but finished school by obtaining his GED.

He enjoyed Art, Skateboarding, and Ice Hockey as a teen and spent many hours honing his skills.

He was employed at DiSanto Jet Gas, then Wayne ARC for awhile and was most recently employed by Lyons McDonald’s.

He enjoyed fishing and spending time with family and friends, but would light up like a Christmas Tree around his kids and grandson.

Nate was pre deceased by his loving father Steven E. Derr, his grandmother’s Roxanna Rowe and Sheila Derr and his grandfather John Derr.

Nate is survived by his daughter Taylor Behlau Derr, son Nathan D. Derr Jr. and daughter Mariah Cruz, his mother and stepfather Rebecca and Lee Powers, sister Sara Derr and brother Ethan Derr, his grandfather Kenneth Rowe, Aunts Sue Rowe (Steve Mitchell), Marla (Jack) Barton, Patti Morris, Anne (Keith) Knapp, Mary (Chas) Tatigian, Christine Krebbeks, and Kim (Jedd) Hetherley, and Uncles Mark (Cindy) Rowe, Ken (Andi) Rowe, Paul (Laura) Rowe and Matt Rowe, and his Grandson Louie James O’Leary.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Please consider contributing to his GoFundMe account to help cover his final expenses.
