In Loving Memory...

I lost my dear nephew and my brother lost his only child yesterday in a very tragic accident/incident in California. There are no words to convey how broken-hearted I am... I want the world to know that this man was a wonderful, compassionate soul who was known to go to McDonald's to buy meals for the homeless. He was an USAF Iraqi War Veteran. I am proud of who he was and what he stood for in this world.



I love you, Derek sweetie!!!!

awwe, I am so sorry He was only like 6 months younger than me.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless him for the contributions he made.

I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences and biggest hugs.

sending my deepest condolences to you and your family

Whoa...Big fuzzies and goosebumps here..So sad for your loss Ronnnie, and the worlds loss also. Uplifting you and your family in prayer this week. Take care. HUGS

My heart aches just hearing about your loss... I know exactly how you feel because I too had a nephew past away some years ago. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss! Prayers for your family.

So, so, sorry. My brother lost his 19 year old daughter to cancer. It shouldn't happen that parents lose children.

D.

I pray that you will be comforted and will reflect on the goodness, happy times, and the precious love your nephew had for mankind.

Oh, Miss Ronnie, big hugs, and thoughts of deepest sympathy for you and your brother's family. It is just so wrong when someone's child dies before the parent.
May you get to the place where Derek's life is more meaningful than his death. This is not easy for you, or your family.

So very sorry to hear of your loss, Miss Ronnie. But thank you for taking the time to share some of his legacy with us. Sounds like the world lost a thoughtful, considerate, and honorable citizen. My sincere condolences to your family and friends.

My thoughts are with you and your family in these difficult time.
Treasure the memories you all have and he will never be forgotten.

*HUG*
I am so glad you posted and are talking about it.
I was worried when you were unable to talk about it that morning.
Again, I am so so sorry. He was beautiful inside and out, and the world was a lucky place to have him in it.

Im so sorry Ronnie. Thank you for sharing him with us - he sounds like an amazing person. You and your family are in my thoughts.

So sorry for your loss Rhonda, may God be with you in this time of sorrow and bless your brother and his family. How difficult it must be to lose a child at any age. We do not expect to ever do that. I pray for your comfort and for you to be uplifted during this difficult time. God bless.

I'm so very sorry for you loss Ronnie. My heart goes out to you. Praying for you and your family.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. The last several days have been tough... but I had a major event Sat. & Sun. and it helped take my mind off things. I discovered that face painting can be very therapeutic as it literally calmed my soul this weekend...

I'm so sorry for your loss Ronnie. What a wonderful young man that will be missed.
I agree on the therapeutic powers of face painting. It calms me even in my worse trials.
I'm praying for peace for you & your family.

My heart aches for you Ronnie. Prayers for you & your loved ones in this most difficult time. May you find "...the peace that passes understanding."

my condolences to you and yours, Miss Ronnie.

ohh no. Ronnie I'm just seeing this post. Made me well up. I can feel your pain in your words. I'm so sorry for you and your families loss. Heartbreaking. This world needs more people like him. Sincere condolences.
