Derrick T. Brass

Derrick was born September 30, 1980 in Houston, Texas to Lucinda (Coleman) Brass and Samuel Brass Jr. He attended school in Winnsboro, Louisiana. Whereas he was the baby of four children, he had a lot to live up to, he was determined that he would do better and accomplish what he wanted to do. He would say “I’m going to do this,” all sports and JROCT – and he did. He even called drills for National Honors in Dayton Beach, Florida. Even though he was ill you would never have known.
