Although Derek's passing has left an indelible hole, his love, humor, support, and tenacity will endure in the hearts of everyone who loved him.

A Vibrant and Laughing Man

Derek was the type of person that brought a special glow with him wherever he went. He is described as quick-witted, critically thinking, and incredibly caring by friends and family.

He frequently encouraged others around him to venture beyond of their comfort zones because he had the unique ability to see the best in people while simultaneously pushing them to grow. Not because he was cruel, but because he saw everyone's potential and wanted them to achieve, he never put up with complacency.

He had an unrivaled sense of timing and humor that made every gathering joyful. People who know him remember innumerable instances of sincere laughter brought on by his humorous comments, such as the well-timed “BAMPF” or his amusing query, “have you seen the moon?” One of the many things that made Derek memorable was his capacity to bring humor and delight into ordinary situations.

A Companion in Every Way

Derek and his wife had an adventurous, creative, and steadfastly loving relationship. They had a dream of seeing the world, experiencing new things, and living life to the fullest. He frequently uttered the words "screw it, let us do it" because he felt that moments should be created rather than waiting for them. Numerous plans and ideas were transformed into priceless memories with such mindset.

He encouraged people he cared about to keep going, to seize chances, and to never let obstacles in life hold them back. Derek was his wife's best friend, teacher, and motivator in addition to being a partner. He encouraged her to live fearlessly, embrace genuineness, and freely express her feelings.

Action, Determination, and Creativity

Derek had ideas, but unlike most people, he was also determined to make them a reality. He was not going to let his dreams sit on a shelf and collect dust. Derek made things happen, whether it was an impromptu scheme, an imaginative endeavor, or a brand-new journey. Those around him were forever changed by his enthusiasm for enjoying life to the fullest.

He reminded everyone that life is too short to waste time on indecision by living with an energy that motivated others. Derek recycled, rebuilt, and turned obstacles into opportunities; his wife aptly described how he never allowed brokenness to stay as it was.

That same idea permeated his love and support for others, as he consistently uplifted them, fostered their development, and gave more of himself than he ever anticipated receiving in return.

A Durable Legacy

The lessons Derek taught and the love he shared will continue to influence those left behind, even if his time on earth was much too brief. Heartfelt remarks that truly define his essence were expressed by his wife:

"Derek, you had such a lasting impression on my life. I will never suppress my feelings, conceal my actual feelings, or continue to be lazy. For someone with such an amazing and contagious attitude, it is the least I could do. I can only do it for you now because you taught me how to live.

Derek's adventurous energy, infectious humor, and steadfast encouragement will always be cherished memories for family and friends. They will live bravely, love passionately, and never let brokenness go uncared for in order to commemorate his life.
