Derrick was a kind man who was just starting to see the light of life when he suddenly passed away at the age of 43. He leaves behind two children, Emma Gale and Kayla May, who meant the world to him. Derrick was one of the most smiley people you’d ever meet, always finding a way to brighten the day of those around him, no matter how grim his own day was going. His warmth and positivity touched everyone he met, and his loss has left a deep void in our family and community.

We are raising funds to help cover the unexpected funeral costs and to provide support for Derrick’s children as they navigate this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward easing the financial burden on our family and ensuring that Emma and Kayla have the support they need moving forward. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference as we honor Derrick’s memory and help his children through this loss.

Thoughts and prayers for the family are deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering a donation and for keeping Derrick’s loved ones in your hearts.
