Ronell & Family,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Derrick. He was a remarkable young man who brought joy to all who knew him with his politeness, warmth, and that unforgettable smile. Derrick had a unique ability to make everyone around him laugh and feel cherished. Known by many names, he touched countless lives, but above all, he was family—and that bond will forever remain in our hearts.
