I'm so sorry for your loss. Derek was a hardworking man. God has called him to service in heaven.

I've known this fine young man since the day he was born, his mother is my beloved sister, and his brother is my beloved nephew. I used to say, you're my favourite you know, and he was in his own way as are all cherished children. He had a life well lived, he made sure of that. His daughters had a remarkable man for a father, setting a tone for their choices of men in their own lives. A legacy only a father can bestow. You were loved and will continue to be loved in our memories, Derek. Aunt Lynda, Uncle Joe and cousins Heather-Dawn and Dale.

So sorry to hear of Derek's passing, he delivered to my home and my place of work for many years. Such a nice guy, we always had a little chat.. RIP Derek

I am soo incredibly sorry for the loss of Derek. I knew him since I was a little girl as he was one of my dad's best friends. Derek was always good to me and always made me laugh. He even came to my wedding in Cuba and we all had a blast. I know our whole family is going to miss him but I find a lot of peace knowing that he was able to pass on his terms and isn't in pain anymore. Rest easy Derek ❤️ -Denise Ure (Vanderlinde)

I was incredibly saddened to hear of Derek's passing. He was a wonderful coworker and an even better person. I often covered Derek's area whenever he took time off and I always admired how dedicated he was to his customers based on all the positive things they've had to say about him. It was clear to me he took pride in his work and I'm very grateful to say he played a huge role in mentoring me. He will be greatly missed, please accept my sincerest condolences. - Tyler Tattrie
