Derek and I grew up together on Anderson Crescent - we were buddies all through elementary school - playing Cowboys & Indians or Cops & Robbers in the neighborhood, riding our bikes to the Victoria Groceries for ice cream and soda pop, watching Star Trek and the Lone Ranger, playing board games, going to boy scouts together, we were best of friends. He was the nicest most sincere, honest, and caring person I have ever had the honor to be friends with. Even through his illness Derek had the drive to reach out, even up to just a few months ago would call my mom and dad just to say hello and see how I was doing.
I am so sorry that he left us so early, but have solace in knowing that he is in a better place and finally has the peace and serenity he so truly deserved
Godspeed Derek - I will never forget our friendship
