Still can't believe you are gone Derrico.. Glad we got to let loose and have a great time at Bubba Fest this year. Even though your tall ass could barely get in and out of the jeep because of the roll bars. Then you stood on top of my rim to push it closer to the bead so I could blow it up with starting fluid to get it back on the bead. You had us rolling the entire weekend. There will be a open seat for you my friend. Till we see you again... R.I.P

Although im upset that i cannot go to his burial tomorrow due to court but my heart goes out to the family. Derrick is the brother of my two childhood bestfriends Courtney and Brittany, so we spent quite a bit of time together. Im shocked at his death and lost for words for the pain his family must feel. Feels like yesterday i just spoke to him. Life... Is never promised. You will be missed and loved in this life and the next

My baby brother! Where do I even begin...i have so much to say but just not enough paper. I have so many favorite memories with you but my favorite was when you were with me and the kids playing like you were a kid again. We love you and can not express how much your turely missed. I'm shattered and happy at the same time. I'm so happy your at peace. Please watch over us..please watch over mom and dad. Nathan Annaleigh waylon and I love you so much!

He was the one I would look up. My Derick. Eli, Alex and I love you so much. There are no words to describe this, but you dont want people to know. Your are my baby brother, the one I had fun with. You mean so much to me, and I'm so happy you made peace. All day I've been thinking of happy memories of you, and everyone. We love you Uncle Dew.

Derrick, you will forever be missed! Your life on earth was short but rejoice in Heaven & Fly High with the Angels! God Speed my friend!
