Derek Lee Silvey was born April 7, 2006, In Columbia, Missouri. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a nephew. He was the life of the party and had the most wonderful joy any child could have! He was the protector, the friend, the teacher and the lover. He was so full of life, love and laughter. He had a heart of gold and would help anyone out no matter the issue. He was a hard worker, caretaker and as loyal as they come. He is and was and will forever be my baby (my second heartbeat).
Derek leaves behind his parents, four siblings from his mother (one brother and three sisters) and a niece and nephew. From his stepmother he leaves behind three siblings (two brothers and one sister). Derek also leaves behind so many relatives and friends.
His legacy will live on through all of us until we meet again.
