Derrick has been an influence to many in the time he was with us. He was a teacher, a brother, husband, father, loyal friend, dedicated son, lyricist and the list goes on. Derrick's energy was unmatched. Derrick didn't have the gift of gab he was the gift of gab. Whether it was an argument, proving a point, building, finding somewhere to eat, L.O.V.E. found way to convince you to see it his way. These are some of the things that made him special and that we loved about him.
