Even though I had never met D, I loved seeing the post you always shared with all on FB on all his achievements. God has another angle to help him out in heaven. I will be keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts.
I wasn't the closest with Derek, I would say acquaintance, but I bowled with him almost every practice and we got to know each other during the Conference Tournament. He was an amazing kid.
Derek made our first mission trip to Colorado one I will most definitely never forget! All love to you & your family Mr Stiles.
