Derek Baggett went home to be with the Lord on January 8, 2020. He was born in Cary, NC on July 28, 1977. Derek was admitted to the hospital after Christmas with complications from the flu, which caused a chain of other medical problems. The last year was a very difficult year for Derek. He went through several hospital stays, a partial leg amputation, rehab for 3 months and the final stay in the hospital. He fought hard until there was no strength left to fight with. He will be missed.
He had a sense of humor and enjoyed working with wood in his workshop. Derek passed knowing the LORD Jesus was there to greet him.
Derek is survived by his mother, Janet Baggett; sister, Carmen Dupree; brother, Jeremy Baggett and his wife, Lesley; and nephew, Hunter Dupree.
