Condolence: I was just looking up an old friend and I found this, and I know it's late but I also want to express my deepest sympathy to Derrick's family and close friends. Derrick and I used to hang out many, many years ago (early 90s) and I have nothing but fond memories of that time. He was in massage school at the time, had the epic moustache, and he's the one who taught me how to be a passenger on a motorcycle. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing, RIP Derrick.

Condolence: there is so much to say about my buddy Derrick,i will try to honor him with some memories mourn the loss of such a good guy and a great friend to me.when i first met Derrick many moons ago through his brother Pete,he was a bit older and was quite intimidating with his handlebar mustache and long hair,"don't you guys even think of going near my ford escort GT he said.the rexilius household in bonavista was a hangout hotspot for us all and we grew into a tightknit crew.as i look at pictures of when he was a kid i was stunned to see him with short hair,i could have sworn he was born with his fabi"oldie" long hair.as the years passed by i learned alot from Derrick and alot about him.who hasn't settled a score with google search? thats if he didn't already have a trick up his sleeve,but he never rubbed it in.he had his own idea and theorys by the bushell.although his hair was a constant Derrick went through many fazes along the way,i can recall karate and him getting his professional massuse lisence.he settled down to what was in his blood,masonary.he was so good at it in school he was invited back to teach and a one time had his own company the masonary men.another passion of his was cooking,especially his traditional family recipes fish bosh and rouladin.he beamed with pride to host his family for christmas dinner under his own roof as a homeowner in makenzie.one of our favorite things to do together was play a board game axis & allies,this is where i think his debating skills were truly honed,propaganda was a big part of his game.he beat me in our last game with some rouge u-boat tactics and some airplane moves that really didn't make any sense,well to me at least.i will waiting on the rematch.speaking of games,derrick had game or should i say a way with the ladies.from out dueling me at the kings head pub for the affection of a lady in his construction clothes while i'm in my favorite lucky shirt.he was laid up in the hospital driving the nurses bonkers but still managed to land a phone number.we enjoyed many ski trips together but if he couldn't make it he would ask about the ski bunnies before anything about the snow or weather.i have to tell ya he rode big ol' ski's,like twice his hieght is about right but he worked it and was quite good at it as well.really he enjoyed alot of things but he was happy just to be cut in,to around people he liked and help them out.he mended fences both literally and figuratively the last 2 years or so derrick had been doing well.better and happier than i have seen him in awhile.i believe some of had to do with his motorbike.he was stoked,having a good ol time on his last.proud as a peacock.i was blessed to spend it with him.on a more personal note,i would like to thank everyone for there support and being there for me.i sotra feel like like the bell of the ball,only in a horror movie.Pete,Andrina and Theresa have given me a lesson in strength this week that i will learn from.i have had so many memories come back to me,it has been fun telling and hearing them all.some of the stories i never knew have been my favorites.so feel free to share them all.i have felt a burden on my shoulders and heart over this past week,i choose to turn this burden into something light that lifts me because Derrick will live on in my heart.i will use the pain i feel now to relish the day and the moment because thats the way Derrick lived his.i think he would have wanted it that way and i know he didn't want to hurt anyone in life or now.so when im floating down the bow or out at a rock concert i will savour them more with him looking down on me with that smirk on his face when he knew he was right and thats how ill remember him.i loved you mench

Condolence: I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to your family at this time. I met Derrick 20 years ago and we were friends for awhile but as some do in the city we lost touch although I have always remembered his sense of humour and zest for life. He was really enjoying martial arts back in those days and he always loved to make people laugh. I hope you will all be well in this trying time. RIP Derrick. wendy

Condolence: Pete and Family. I am so saddend by your loss of your dear brother Derrick. I only got to know him for a minute when you and he helped Barry build my fence. Everyone is so right in saying Derrick was always there to help. What a bright light he was! Now a shining star.

Condolence: Andy & Peter. I've had the pleasure of riding in the area and can only say how wonderful that Derrick spent his last day doing the "twisties" and enjoying the scenery & smells of beautiful Kananaskis. I can only pray that you find strength to work through this, yet another, challenging time in your life. Andy, you are a strong & amazing woman & I know in time you'll heal again. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug :-)

Condolence: To my loving brother I miss you so much,no words can describe how I feel right now!!! Your willingness to help me and others can never be replaced. You always put me first, and wanted to spend time with me and my family. You always had your own opinions about things, but that is what made you so special !! I know you are with Mom and Dad right now, so give them big hugs and kisses for me. We will see each other again someday, not here on earth, but in heaven, so until then, take care,have fun and never forget I love you and will never forget you..... I love you Derrick.......
