Derek was known for his vibrant personality, his unwavering kindness, and his deep love for his family and friends. He was a cherished member of the Bourbon community, where he had lived most of his life. Whether lending a helping hand to a neighbor or sharing a laugh with friends, Derek’s presence was a source of joy and comfort to all who knew him.
In the wake of this tragic loss, Derek’s family has expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support from the community. They have requested privacy during this difficult time and ask that those who wish to honor Derek’s memory do so by cherishing their loved ones and living with the same generosity and warmth that Derek exemplified.
A memorial service to celebrate Derek’s life will be announced in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to a local charity that supports road safety initiatives, reflecting Derek’s commitment to the well-being of others.
Derek’s legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
