He was born in Keene on December 8, 1988 the son of Glenn and Julie (Beam) Scadova. He was a graduate of Keene State College, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry. Derek worked as a chemist at Neenah Paper, Inc., in West Springfield, MA, and most recently New Chapter in Brattleboro, VT, as a Quality Control Specialist.
His greatest passion in life was being a Dad, and he savored the time that he spent with his little boy, Andrew. Derek was baptized in the fall of 2017 at Cornerstone Church in Winchendon, Mass, and his recent faith brought him comfort, especially in the times when he struggled the most. Above all, he loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them.
He is survived by his son: Andrew James Scadova, two sets of loving parents: Glenn and Donna Scadova of Keene and Julie Scadova and Craig Boucher of Winchendon, MA, his sister: Jenny Dunn and her husband Jordan of Mesa, AZ, his grandfather Francis Scadova of Swanzey, his grandmother, Holly Beam, of Alstead, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
A Celebration of Derek’s Life will be held at the Foley Funeral Home, 49 Court St. Keene, NH on Monday, August 13, 2018 from 4 to 6pm. There will be a Service of Remembrance at 6pm.
