Meet you and go to school with you we had some fun times rest easy bro till I see you again
I had the pleasure of knowing Derrick as a student and also as an athlete during my years teaching and coaching at Florence. He worked hard at everything and was a very respectful and humble young man. His smile could light up the room. The world is better for having Derrick as a part of it. Prayers go out to his family during this tragic and difficult time.
So sorry, for your loss.
