Derek it seems just like yesterday that you were coming over to my house to hamg out with me and meagan. And when I had nothing you helped you had a huge smile thay never faded. And you always had my back. I remmeber riding around with the radio blasting george strait it just doesnt seem real that your gone. I miss you so much and my heart is heavy. Fly high baby boi we miss you .

It seems so unreal...you n jacob were like two peas in a pod, always together. It wont be the same without you for sure. High school we talked n joked n had our laughs. In this past yr we reconnected n i can still feel your hugs. I can still hear your laugh and i can still picture you dancing n acting crazy as pictures were taken. R.i.p. dereck you lived life to the fullest! Ill nve 4get u

Derek I have known you since I was little an great friend an great man so kind an polite to everyone you ever talked to. Your life was cut short but you are in a better place you gonna be missed an gone but never forgotten. I love you bro.

You were a part of our family for a short while, & you,Tracy and the girls seemed very happy. We all had difference of opinions at the very end but this is never something we wished for. Death is never easy for those left behind, especially like this. Fly as fast & as far as you want to on those new wings & keep a watch over your family and friends. RIP

I miss you bubba and I remember two stepping with you and celebrated my 21st birthday with you and everyone else. I remember you telling me I had to stop drinking at Dixie. I miss and love you bubba. Keep dancing up there.

I still can't believe you left me now. I brought you into this world soo happy to see that red hair and those fat cheeks. And you made my life worth living. And I will always have a hole in my heart for you until we meet again. Your loving mother and my best friend. You are the best son a mother could ask for. I miss you soo badly. by: momma

Though we were going through a terrible thing I always did care about you. Many good times between along with bad but the good memories will last forever. I can't believe your gone. When I found out I argued it and told them that this was not a funny joke.....well it wasn't a joke either. You are and will always be loved and missed by me and the girls. Rest in peace Derek.

this is truly amazing and a blessing to see so many wonderful tribute. He is missed and loved by soo many.

I can't believe this at all. I know I moved & we haven't hung out since the last time I came down but I just looked at your Facebook the other day and seen all the post about everyone going out to Crockett. It's crazy how things happen in the blink of an eye. You will forever be in my heart and on my mind. Fly high and remember me when I get to heaven love you bubba D.

Baby boy. Its like yesterday me you jacob and josh newsome were in high school at lunch. We had the best times and caused the greatest moments of all time. We hung out time to time and even more since high school. You were one big impact on my life and as much as I wish you were here im glad you didnt suffer. I love ya bubba d. You remember me when I walk in them gates of heaven.

Awe my sweet Derek. I don't know where to begin. I love you. I miss our crazy nights with grandma. Or me calling you late hours in the night to come get Cadence & I to.take her for long rides to get her too fall asleep. I'm so happy you came into my life. About a month ago you, Durwood, Jonathan & myself went night fishing. I'll be sure to get that camera develpoed asap. With love, Randi
