On September 14, 2021, the Phillippi's lives changed forever. Derrick, only 41, unfortunately passed away, leaving behind his wife Jessica, and their 8 year old son Knox. This has been a life shattering event, and the family doesn't even know where to begin at picking up the pieces or how to face tomorrow. Derrick... if you knew him, you loved him, and he loved everyone else back. He was the type of man who would take the shirt off of his back to help anyone who was in need. The only thoughts that come to mind are... What a great guy. What a great "Da-da". What a great Husband. What a great son, friend, and person he truly genuinely was. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please consider making a small donation that would go to help make a positive impact on Jessica and Knox's upcoming expenses. Anything would be greatly appreciated, but most of all, they ask you to continue to pray for strength and comfort for them, and his family for the upcoming days, weeks, and months ahead, especially for their little Knox. Thank you again, to anyone who is able to help. It is greatly appreciated more then anyone knows.
