Derek had a great relationship with his friends and co-workers and left a positive impact on everyone he met. The relationship with his three nieces Sha’mia, Mickayla and Malayah was so special that they called him Uncle Daddy. He was an avid sports fan but his favorite teams were the Atlanta Braves and the New England Patriots with no exceptions.
