There are no words to describe the tremendous pain and anguish that u are dealing with. Derek was a loving and caring young man. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, and a true friend he will be dearly missed by all. Always remember he is watching over his loved ones. Let Gods love and peace surround u and the family. Derek is safe in gods loving arms.
