It's been almost nine years since you passed, in seven more days. And to this day I dont remember exactly everything but I can say I miss you. I know I saw you as a father and you were there helping me with my homework in elementary school. cooking dinner for us and taking care of us while we were sick and I remember the day I missed school because i was sick and we got that phone call around 5am. when I get there and saw my mom drop to the floor I knew something was wrong but too little to understand til I actually walked in the room seeing you lay there lifeless. the day I lost my dad. the day I cant stand to relive.

DEREK,
Where do I start, from the day I met you I thought of you like a brother. You always had my back when I was in trouble, you always protected me. WE always took care of each other, I am glad that I got a chance to have you in my life. I am glad for all the crazy things we did. I was so happy when I saw you & your wife on Little rd that night, & I called you later that night & we played catch up. I wish I had known you were sick I would have loved to help take care of you. I love you very much, I will see you one day. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Love Stephanie (Your lil sis)

Derek, I have loved you since the day you were born. You were an absolutely adorable little boy. We shared a lot of time and love together in your early years. We were all so heartbroken when you were moved to Pa. Our family wasn't complete without you and Dena. We were thrilled when you returned to Florida. You left us as an innocent child and you returned as a damaged teenager. I have never seen anyone so starved for love and affection. It was obvious to all of us that you had suffered alot throughout your childhood. We thank God that you had Mema and Papa to show you what true love was all about. We knew that they had a big influence on you because you showed love and compassion to everyone you met. If I had to choose your best characteristic (besides your good looks of course) it would be your big heart and the love you had for your family. This is the legacy you have left us and your children. Anytime we asked for your help, you never said no. You were always the first to volunteer. The time you spent with Mema and Papa was good for them and you. You learned to cook from the best cook ever, Mema. I remember many meals you cooked for me and they tasted even better knowing they were made with love. We had many happy times in Mema's kitchen laughing, telling jokes and listening to Papa's stories. Those were wonderful years when everyone was together; Mema, Papa, their 6 kids and all of their grandkids. These are memories we will never forget and you were a big part of them. I believe my fondest memory of you is how you stepped up to the plate to take care of Papa when he became ill. We could have never brought him home everyday without you because we could not lift him. You met his every need without a complaint. You made the last year of his life so much better by helping him. You gave Mema a great gift by being there as well. I have never loved you more and you showed all of us what a great, loving and compassionate man you had become. Whenever I got after you and told you that you were doing wrong, you hugged me, told me I was right and then told me you loved me. You always showed me the utmost respect and I thank you for that. We were all so pleased when you found true happiness with Denise. You told me many times how much you loved her and her children. Your only regret was that your children were not with you. I have never seen you happier. It is very sad that your true happiness was so brief. I know you are in heaven because you told me that you believed in and loved Jesus. We know that you are now with Mema, Papa and your dad. Someday we will all be together again. You will be in my heart forever. Aunt Celia

my brother,my heart. Its with the heaviest of heart that im writing this. ive been wanting to write something but my eyes are so welled up with tears i cant see my keyboard. its always been you and i from day one.. i sure didnt want u when mom brought u home from the hospital (i wanted a bike) and boy did we fight! but one thing that was certian i loved you. no matter what you always had my back and i yours. i always told you i was your biggest cheerleader. I saw in you something that nobody could see. our bond was unbreakable. people think im the kind one really didnt know you! your insides never matched your outsides. when you got through that tough shell there was a goshy inside that not many people saw but if you were lucky enough to it was the best. you kind heart made me never give up on you i gave you 1000 chances and i would have given you a million more.. my heart is full of saddness not because of your passing but because of the amazing things that you were trying to acomplish. you were starting your wonderful life with such humble dreams and for the 1st time i saw you love. the love you were always looking for,and deserved. I LOVE YOU i will watch over your children and love them as my own. say hi to dad and give him a kiss. tell memaw/papa i love them. and give grandma daleen a big hug for me i will talk to you in my prayers and see you in my dreams.....your sissy..dena xoxoxox

Derek..although we were nothing but trouble together, I am so glad that you were once part of my life, and we were able to forgive eachother for all the crazy things we did to eachother and still remain friends. Fun times together at the Broffman's, Mount Vernon and just hanging out behind Circle K. You will be missed.... Wendy :)

Well Derek....most of what I have to say, Ive already said to you in recent days since you passed, between me and you and god..... but I feel the need to pay tribute to you here as well. Obviously there was alot I saw in you that was good, because I fell in love with you and you were my first love, there was nothing that would stop us, though so many tried...family ,friends........ i always saw something that some others did not see.there are so many memories of us i have been remembering...crazy kids ;) I got to see a side of you that in so many ways contradicted your actions, you did indeed have a big heart, lots of emotions and a ton of great intentions and as many that truly got to know you, they know theres so much more to derek than meets the eye. I know you carried alot inside that head and heart of yours all these years, and i always understood that and I know you carried alot of pain around with you, be at peace with it all now Derek!! We had ups and downs, great times,hard times ...and even though we disagreed about alot you did and didnt do,and you made me so angry sometimes i could scream, I did always understand the person you were inside and never was able to find it in my heart to stay mad for long or to hate you either...no matter what you did. I shared you in my life many years , as a friend, then as a lover, then the father of my child and back to friends again, and though our paths seperated, you will always have that place in my heart, and beyond that we always have one great thing that came from all of the mess, our beautiful daughter Raven.she looks so much like you its crazy and cody , when he smiles , its like looking you in the face!! Raven is alot like you in so many ways, id never be able to foget you if i tried, I am sad for her and what she has missed with you and what she will miss with you, i am sad that your life has had so much struggle, and im sad that you ran out of time to fix all the things i know in my heart you planned to and wanted to with the best intentions..... I promise you that she will grow to understand and i will help her understand the complicated-ness of it all, and the complicated-ness of you ;)......I have a lot of memories that I hold and will share with her, and some will be kept with me, but you could not be forgotten and will be missed.I share no hard feelings for you Derek, never did, i am only sad for Raven (and Cody) and I am sad for you.....its is a sad ending that I hoped would never come......I also want to say that I hope I have not made Denise uncomfortable, but he was a big part of my life at one point and will always remain a big part through our daughter....I am glad he found happiness and the kick in the butt he needed from Denise, I do not know her , but I am happy he found some happiness with her and her children as i have heard he did and my deepest sympathies go out to her and the three girls as well.....I feel for thier loss as well. I also send out my deepest sympathies to all of Dereks family, I know he was loved by many and there will be many who miss him deeply, especially dena. Unfortunately we have many friends up there with you Derek, as well as your meemaw and Buster, but at least we know you have company up there that loved you to death as well!! Rest In Peace Derek , Many will feel the loss.....Love, Michelle and Rave

My sweet Derek, there are so many hearts that are broken now that you have gone. Your girls had you as a father for almost 3 yrs, but to them you were their father for a life time. Your son Cody and your daughter Raven will also miss you, they were just getting to know and love you after being separated from you for so long. Your wife Denise will always carry you in her heart, your third wedding anniversary is this month and your birthday in June, these will be very sad days for all of us. Your mom, sisters and brothers are just filled with the pain and sorrow that will last for a long while. We talked just a few days before you past, I am so happy that you called me, we were able to talk and say to each other I love you! It makes me very happy that you also wanted to thank me again for a nice Thanksgiving we all had, it was truly a blessed day, now more than ever. You kids were digging in the photo boxes like you were on a treasure hunt. I got to tell you my favorite story about you. Uncle Frank, Christina and I came up to PA to visit. You were busy practicing your bike jump from one ramp to another gradually making the gap between ramps a little further apart. On one of the days, Uncle Frank and I were walking past the fence where the ramps were on the other side of it. All of a sudden we hear you yelling "hey Uncle Frank watch this", you were peddling up the driveway as fast as your legs would peddle. As we turn to watch you, we saw you hit the first ramp like Evel Knievel, while your brothers Donnie and Mike both laid in between the ramps, all we could do was gasp! It was an OMG minute but now it is just a funny memory about what a dare devil you were. I am glad I got to remind you of that moment at Thanksgiving. You had a hard life for living such a short time, 34 yrs is not enough. I believe that the last 3 yrs were the best you every had because of Denise and your daughters. We love you and miss you Uncle Frank, Aunt Laura and Christina.

He was taken from his brothers and I at an early age......and yet again he is taken from us..this time forever...and before my brothers got to know him..... I am so glad that I got to be with him and get to really know him the last 10 years...we had our ups and we had our screaming fits...I could never stay mad too long..I knew he truly loved me...I will miss his late night phone calls and obscene jokes..but i will mostly miss a brother that loved me and let me know that he loved me after every single phone conversation, after every single argument and after every visit....I thank God he found Denise...who is stronger then I ever could be and absolutely more patient...she made him softer....I am so sad for Cody and Raven..I just hope they are strong enough to pull themselves up and out of everything they will face as they mature and start to figure the world out...same goes to my 3 nieces...who now have to live much quieter lives...I wish the best for them as they struggle with not having a dad again..I hope my sister manages to stay strong like she always does...with losing both grandmas, both grandpas, her father and now her brother..i hope she and Jared just find happiness with themselves and grow together.. i'm drained...what a tragic end to a tragic life...

Derek is my cousin and to choose just one memory or story about him would be very hard. What I can say is that Derek had one of the biggest most loving hearts. He cared and loved his family very much and would have done anything in the world for them. I was lucky enough to live with him at our "Mema's" house when my husband and I had our daughter. He was smart enough to let mema teach him how to cook like her. Im glad to have had that time with him as I didn't get to see him that much after we moved out. I was so glad to see that he found Denise, she changed his life. He will be missed terribly and in my heart forever.
I Love you Cuz.........
