Condolence: Derek was such a great friend growing up in school. We were pretty good friends at one time .but life at time a pulls you apart. I just hope he knows that I will always hold him close to my heart and that my heart goes out to all his family and friends. He was taking to young, but only Gig calls the best ones home. Even tho we will grieve, we should try to rejoice in his memorie as he would want us to do. I love ya brother. I so sorry that I couldn't be there..but I'm there with you in my heart. May you rest in peace and sand among the angels Choir. Rest in peace Derek Smith. Love Marty

Condolence: My wife and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Derek Smith's family. Derek and I went to school together and played High School basketball together. He was an amazing friend on and off the ball court. You will be missed greatly Derek.

Condolence: Derek, you were a great friend to me growing up. We became friends in Mr. Comer's 8th grade science class and remained good friends through graduation. I still have the "good luck" tennis necklace you gave me when we played on the tennis team together. You will be missed, buddy.
