"This is hard,there is no words to say,just pain...this is a nightmare!  Just like that your gone,only memories left." Please God" as I pray for the family,his kids,everyone involved in the Crucifixion of Derick .I want justice but God said "Romans 12:19,Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord."

"God please ease the pain this family is going through!!!  Tammy-Marrisa the goddesses of vengeance,.Alecto, Tisiphone and Megara,The Furies, are on your side,Praying they hurry.So,so sorry for your loss.I never met your son- father,but it's so easy to see how loved he was,May he rest in peace."

"This is so unfair that this has happened to you. I remember drinking all the time with you when we wasn't old enough to drink lol. You were a great friend and a family oriented person. Myself, your family, and friends will forever miss you. We will all keep you alive in our hearts. You may not be here physically but I know your spirit is still with us. R.I.P Derick love ya!!!"

"Still remember jr. high with you. Cant believe this happened to you. Whoever did this will suffer whether its in  this life time or the next....im sure your looking over your family now so keep them safe. You will greatly missed by many"

"Rest in paradise derick..your family and friends need you to watch over them and make sure there safe! You were taken to soon."

"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid, you see.
I took His hand when I heard His call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found the peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendshi"

"Derick I'm still in shock. You were always a great friend to so many. I still remember 7th grade when I moved here you made me feel like I fit in. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You're missed by so many and never forgotten by any. Rest in peace Hun. Watch over all your family and friends. If any of Dericks family needs anything let me know. I'm so sorry for your loss."

"I'm so sad this happened.  I hurt for your kids.  I will miss you Derick. I'm just at a loss for words.  You will be missed."

"OMG this is so hard. Derick I love you and this whole things hurts so bad.  It's not fair that I'll never get to see my cousin Derick's face again or give you a hug. I want you to know there will be justice."

"I remember most what a loving child you were, you wanted to be cared for, to feel safe and you were a wonderful brother & care taker to your sisters. I'll never forget when our relationship turned and we found an understanding that I was there for you. I regret things turned out the way they did in the end but I always loved you and feel the loss. Bless your family I know they're hurting."
