It is no surprise to me to see all the wonderful things people have to say about Derrick. We briefly worked together at Toys R Us, and in the few short months we knew each other, I felt like I’ve known him my whole life. Sometimes you just meet people who are so real and genuine you just can’t imagine what this world would be like without them. Derrick, I enjoyed the time I worked under you as a department supervisor. You truly were a leader and had a heart for every area in your life! I cannot imagine driving by and not seeing your vehicle parked outside the store. I just don’t think I will ever be able to visit Toys R Us and not break down and cry! What a joy it was to return to the store and see your smiling face. It’s hard to believe a person could feel so strongly about someone they only knew for a short while…but that was just you! Your charm, humor, and smile were simply infectious! Romans 12:19 assures us that the Lord will repay. God Bless your family for the gift of your life! ~Alex

I am still so sad. It really hurt my heart to know, my nephew who I have always referred to as my other son is gone. It hurt so much to know the way someone was so cold blooded in taking your life, which you didn’t deserve. My baby. I can remember the last thing he said to me. We always ended our phone calls by me saying ” I Love you’ and he would say, “Love you too”. My God, WHY, WHY. I ache so much for you. Derrick was just a sweet soul who would help anyone who asked it. Now he gone and I pray that the persons who did this, can’t sleep at nights and you never rest peacfully. They don’t know they took the life of a sweet soul. My family will truly miss him. Derrick was so sweet to my entire family. I still cry. Life cut so short for no reach. I will miss the cuties dimples and simle that God had given any man. Rest in Peace my Son. I will always keep you in my heart. I can still hear you say “Love you too” Love your Aunt Mary Shephard

To my cousins Sandra K and Maurice Berry. I am so very sorry for your loss. Derrick was truly a blessing to everyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting him. His homegoing is truly a loss for all that knew him. I want so very badly to take your pain away but my power is limited. I will continue to pray for you and the rest of our family for the strength to move forward from this tragedy. It was great spending time with Derrick just 5 weeks before God needed him back and i only wish that our time together lasted longer. Much love to you both.

To the Berry Family,
Derrick served as a VISTA volunteer for a year-plus in a program I coordinated. I was so saddened to learn of his passing. Derrick was an outstanding young man, always funny, positive, sporting a grin, finding the bright side in everything. I wished I had the chance to hear his music, but trust he is now worshipping in the brightest glories of heaven. May he join that great cloud of witnesses that urges us all onward in the faith. God bless you with strength and hope for the journey ahead!

Derrick When i first met you, your character left such a impact on mine and my children’s life. It was like i knew you a lifetime. Although we didn’t talk as much, i was really excited about your trip to New Jersey. My heart is sadden that your physical presence won’t be here, but the memories will last a lifetime. I can ask who, why, when and how, and instead i will fast, cry out, pray, and thank God! I know you are bringing them in on that heavenly organ making a sweet sound…. Keep playing Derrick, and i know i will see you again.
Love you Derrick!!

To Derrick’s Family-
I wish to tell you that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you are going through this difficult time. I was a friend of Derrick’s at Fulton High School. We were not close friends as I was a Freshman when he was a Junior. However, during the two years I knew Derrick he made a lasting impression on me from band. I will never forget the kind words Derrick gave me when I struggled with marching. He was so kind and patient with me but in the “sarcastic, ornery, Derrick” kind of way. He knew my older brothers, as they were more his age, and he helped look out for me to make sure I was hanging out with the right kind of people. Derrick was a kind role-model and never ceased to make me laugh. I wish I could say that we were good friends, but my relationship with Derrick was purely that of an underclassman looking up to a kind upperclassman who always seemed to be laughing and smiling that huge DB smile! Thank you Derrick for your kindness and I wish you the best as you rock it out in heaven with Jesus! God bless you and your family and may peace and comfort come to them soon.
