Friends, it is with a sad heart that I am writing to share this update. We received confirmation that Derek passed away as a result of his injuries.
We will keep these threads closed for now, until have approval of the family to disclose additional detail.
Please keep his family in your thoughts, and rest on each other for support in this difficult time.
Above all, celebrate the wonderful person that Derek was, and bring with you the best of his good energy into all that you do.
