When we think of Derek, we remember a freckle-faced, brush cut, shy boy with a heart stopping smile. Derek was our oldest sons first friend at St. Martin de Porres. He will always have a very special piece of our hearts. Rest in peace.  

I have lots of fond memories of growing up with you; sleepovers at your house , hockey games coached by your Dad, elementary school classes together, going to the movies - specifically Blazing Saddles and Raiders of the Lost Ark at Cedarbrae cinemas, walking to your house for lunch and scaring your neighbours with cherry bombs.  I will cherish all of these memories, rest in peace.

Derek, you were a great friend and teammate. There was never a time we shared that did not include many laughs. You prepared some of the best meals I have had. Until we meet again, I will cherish the memories that will always bring a smile.

Thank you for being a big part of my life. The laughter, the tears, the cuddles, your cheeky smile – you filled my heart (and belly).  You loved making others happy, lived without regret and loved deeply. Our memories will always have a special place in my heart that remembers and loves you. Bean x

Derek - although it's been a few years since we last met, you were always so welcoming and happy to reconnect.  You will be sadly missed -  may you rest in peace.
