He was a Vietnam veteran and retired from the Army after 22 years of service to his country. He was a loving husband and spent countless hours following his son and grandchildren around the state at their ballgames. Derrell loved the Simpson Broncos, the LSU Tigers, and the Many Tigers. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved deer hunting and fishing and was always up for a card game. Being a master carpenter, he built many homes and sets of cabinets throughout the state. If you needed him, you could find him in his shop or in the woods with Ray. He loved music and played the drums for many years including at SBC. Derrell will be missed by many, but his legacy will live on through his family and the many homes he built.
