💔
I had only known Derrick for less than a year, altho we had mutual friends that extended back many more years. I could tell right away we would get along and we did . Derrick liked to get a rise outta people and make them laugh and he did this extremely well he was kind and I always felt safe in his presence. I really felt like he was somebody I would know for a long time. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was someone I definatly wanted to know and someone who Will always be missed ! My heart goes out to his family. My sincerest. Condolences may he forever rest in piece.
I am sadde
Derrick had the most extreme personality I've ever known. He was loyal as a friend, aggressive as a nemesis, compassionate as a man should be, Non forgiving as a human could be. He was hard on people he felt were taking advantage of either him or a good friend. He felt it his duty to protect children and the elderly. He is Uncle Derrick to my Daughter and Sons. He was my friend to the point of a brother. He will be missed very much.
My best and Charished memory took place at Neiman Marcus where we had been shopping. I had been hurt badly In a recent accident and wanted to get shoes. He saw me hesitate after finding a pair I liked. He said "hey bro, if it's the money I got you. I said "no, I can't bend enough to put on socks" and started laughing off my embarrassment. He snatched a pair of socks off the display and sat me down. Without hesitation he dropped to his knees, and began to remove my sandles. He put the socks and shoes on my feet to try. He didn't hesitate nor care what it looked like to anyone. Maybe that doesn't seem a big deal. But if you can picture him and I together at that moment. In any case, I have many great memories.
To his Mom and Dad, He thought you were the perfect definition as a man and a father and impossible to follow. Adrian he was loved by many, with a vast array of friends from all walks of life. He was twice as good as he ever was bad. I'm very sorry for your loss and know he would want you to live every min to its fullest.
Love always,
Yonnie
Lord wrap your loving hands around him and protect the inner child that yearns for understanding and make him into the Warrior of your word that you instilled in his DNA. Amen
Derrick, I've known you for over half my life. From the moment you and Joe walked into my job, my life changed forever. Your personality was larger than life and magnetic. People were drawn to you, everyone wanted to know you and was enamored by you. We became so close thru the years. You used to be so protective of me and told everyone I was your sister,, and I have loved you like my own brother. My whole family loved you as one of our own. I will never forget all of the fun we had together, all your crazy almost unbelievable stories, all the times you would show up at my parents house and stay for hours just talking and laughing till our stomachs hurt, the random shenanigans - remember when u left a washcloth in the sink and left the water running after u washed your hands and flooded my parents bathroom and hallway, or the time you had me steal your car back from your ex with your spare key when she went into work? I was scared to death even though I had the owners permission and keys... you could talk me into anything! Hell you could talk anyone into almost anything. LOL. No one ever made me laugh like you could and your laughter was so infectious. You had a way with people and no matter what crap you managed to get yourself into, to the ones you loved, your loyalty was unending and your heart was as pure as gold. I love you and I will miss you so much. Rest in peace brother. Ps I have soooo many pics to upload later for everyone's viewing pleasure. Xoxo
