I know it's been a few years since your passing and we think of you often but today we remember you and your great sacrifice for our country. Even though Wyatt was just a couple months old the last time you held him, he remembers you fondly as our guardian angel now in heaven. And today in school he shares your photo proudly that Uncle Derek protected us and our Canada! We love and miss you everyday!

While it is never easy to,say good bye to a loved one it is made doubly hard when that loved one is a kind, loving person and dedicated soldier, taken from his family, friends and comrades in arms in the prime of his life.
Our hearts and love go out to Derek,s family and friends especially Angie, Britney and Braydon, Mary, Murray and Lisa.
We can,t be with you at Derek,s service please know you will be in our hearts and thoughts.
With much love, Uncle Bryan, Emily, Andrew, Addison, Harry and Shirley
