Derek made a name for himself in the car electronics industry where he worked for various companies finally retiring from work in 2010.
Derek and Christal married in 2006, where they spent most of their time working and enjoying each other's company at home. He spent and took much pride and working on his yard mowing into the grass various images like a checkerboard or the infinity sign with such a creative character. Derek was full of humour and was known to have a huge heart, his laughter was very contagious and always had a twinkle in his eye and a smirk on his face.
He will be sorely missed.
Christal, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Derek I know he must have been an amazing guy, especially if you choose to spend your life with him. Know that even though we haven’t seen, or talked, in a long time you are family and I will always be there for you, and the girls, in the good times and the bad. Love you and miss you.
Thank you Don!! It means a lot! My dad is definitely p0p0pmissed above and beyond!
