As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Derrick may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
His vision for Shalom was, "Preparing God's People for the Work of the Lord," based on Matthew 28:18-20 and has championed many "firsts" in the history of Shalom, especially through the unprecedented plights of COVID.
