City, FL.

Born in Orlando, FL, May 29, 1996, Derek was a resident of Port St. Lucie, FL since

1998, moving from Orlando.

He was currently a student of MMI, Orlando (Marine Mechanic Institute) a passion

that he decided to follow. He was a graduate of Treasure Coast High School, Port St.

Lucie, FL, where he was involved with athletics, playing on the football team. He also

played football for the PSL Sharks, loved fishing and a fan of UCF. He had wanted to get

into graphic design, and had shown great promise in that field in high school. His strong

love for fishing and boating is what prompted him to get into the Marine Mechanic field.

brother, Sean K. Hadley of Port St. Lucie, FL; maternal grandparents, Irvin Hurst and his
