My deepest sympathy to the entire family. Derrick and I were in classes from Kindergarten until 2001 when we graduated together. Derrick was a wonderful & kindhearted soul with a beautiful smile. He was always there if you needed to talk, if you needed help in class and if you just needed to laugh. God has gained a wonderful angel. He will be truly missed. Sending you all love and prayers during this difficult time.
