Derrek. I need you to know I miss you. And it breaks my heart that you're gone. I only knew you online. But we had made a promise we would meet in person. I came through forest city today. We were on the phone last time I came through. I didn't know where you were buried. But I really thought it was there. I was going to stop by your grave to fulfill my promise. I couldn't though. I soon found out I had already been long past it. I will stop by one day. I refuse to die without seeing you. Fulfilling my promise to you. I'm sorry I couldn't. Everyone misses you. And we all still love you. God blessed me with a wonderful friend. I know he took you at the time he needed. Although it wasn't like we all wanted. Rest in peace Derek. And I'll see you in heaven one day.

Derrek was a member of our church, the First Baptist Church in McGehee. I spent time with Derrek and spoke with him at length almost every time we saw each other. I will miss him. Our church family will miss him as will his Sunday School class.
There is some comfort in knowing that Derrek knew the Lord Jesus Christ and that Derrek is with his Savior now. Our church family prayed for your family last Sunday morning and we grieve with you. I pray for God's peace and comfort to be with you during the days ahead.

Just an old friend sending my condolences to the family. I hadn't seen Derrek in many years, but I remember him always being so goofy. So sorry for your loss. My heart aches for his dear mother, Rhonda. Prayers for you all.
