Derek Tramell Dangerfield Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Derek Tramell Dangerfield (Baltimore, Maryland), who passed away on January 11, 2026, at the age of 59, leaving to mourn family and friends. He was born and raised in the tough streets of Baltimore city, and he graduated from Southwestern High School. Derek's mother Phyllis preceded him in death in 2022. Derek also leaves behind 2 sisters: Gretchen Sykes & Ginea Dillahunt as well as 4 children: Deidre' Dangerfield, Dr. Derek T. Dangerfield Jr., Dominic Dangerfield, and Dereka Dangerfield. There will be a Celebration of Life memorial instead of a traditional funeral held. Please reach out to Gretchen Sykes for location details as it will be a privately held event.

Though Derek has departed this earthly realm, their legacy endures — a legacy of love that will continue to illuminate the lives of family and friends in the darkest of hours. May their spirit soar on wings of eternal peace, forever cherished in the tender embrace of memory.
