So, there hasn't been a time in my life that I haven't known you. While you were not a blood relative, you were always my uncle. I have so many fond memories of growing up with you in my life. From Neil and Bradley being young, your house on Kenmount Rd., Birch Avenue, Michener Avenue... You leaving Birch Avenue and walking over to talk to dad because the line was busy ( I was a teenage girl after all) lol! And dad bawling the head off me :) I remember the tears in your eyes when you met the boys for the first time and I remember just 4 weeks ago, you hugging me on the deck at the cabin, telling me I was a good girl and that you loved me. Then the two of us bawling lol! You have no idea how much that meant to me and i really needed to hear that after the past few years i have had. Derrick, you had a bigger heart than anyone I have ever known. You were kind and gentle and you will be forever missed. Life is unfair . Take Care of Cameron for me. Until we meet again . xo

Derrick was definitely an one of a kind man! When there was a Christmas gathering or a shed party, everyone anxiously awaited Derrick to hear his newest stories and jokes. No matter what stressful times you had that week, they were all forgotten when he was around. He was definitely the life of the party and one of the friendliest people I've ever known. It's not going to be the same in Blackhead not seeing him out by the shed when I go for a run, or not seeing him at any of the community gatherings but he will always be in our memories. Thinking of you Courtney, Karen, and Brad and wishing you the strength to get through this tough time.

To the White Family, you all have been friends to my family for as long as I can remember, below a poem that best fit Derrick....RIP my friend!! My heart is heavy, but God needed you.... THE MEASURE OF A MAN" - Derrick White Not - How did he die? But - How did he live? Not - What did he gain? But - What did he give? These are the things that measure the worth Of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart? And - How did he play his God-given part? Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer? To bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not - What was his church? Not - What was his creed? But - Had he befriended those really in need? Not - What did the sketch in the newspaper say? But - How many were sorry when he passed away? These are the things that measure the worth Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Karen, Courtney, Brad, and family, I was so very saddened when I heard of Derrick's passing. I got to know him fairly well over the past 3 years from working at the store and I can honestly say he was one of my favourite customers. I loved to see him coming in because he could brighten your day with just a wink of his eye. I will always remember the grin on his face when he'd pay with his debit because he'd say "purchase: okay, clerk: very nice". He will be missed by everyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

My Thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time in our lives. Every life has a purpose to fill, a purpose we can seldom understand. But Derrick was a gift from heaven, whose purpose was to make this world understand what love, friendship, goodness and humbleness was all about. Goodness belongs to heaven, and I know he is watching us from up there, bestowing his beautiful smile upon us. May his soul rest in peace.

Where does one begin to describe Derrick White and what he meant to not only me and my family but what he also meant to his immediate family and wide community of friends. So many stories, so many laughs, so much, so much, so much. I have known Derrick since I was about 13 years old. And friends many of the stories you heard about him when he was a young adult are true. He was scary, beautiful, a hard case and the most special human being you could ever meet. My mother who is 88 loved him, Cody King who is 6 adored him....what does that tell you? It tells me that we have been in the presence of a very unique human being. The out pouring of grief has been overwelminig, the expression of shock and disbelief is shared by all and the emptiness that is felt is shared through out this community. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that some day when I walk through the gates of Heaven, I will see his shinny cheeks and know that the party has already started.

Derrick they're saying Broad Cove will never be the same but I think it hasn't been the same since you came back from Toronto looking for a lady with her drivers licence and a hand bag. You found her and created a wonderful life together. You were one of a kind in my book, never judged others and always greeted people with a smile. You will be missed but certainly never forgotten..

Being the "community child" that I was, you were like a second Dad to me. I looked up to you. I loved you. Your smile, your funny sayings/advice and the "fun" you added to our family was second to none. You held my hand over the years when many turned their backs.
Years after I left home you allowed your daughter to spread her wings and come out west with me. I know how much that hurt you, to let her "grow" but it filled my life with so much joy. I had a family again. I had Courtney.
My children were lucky enough to spend sometime with you this summer and have very fond memories. Nicholas thought you were an absolute riot (although he's still questioning if you made up the songs in the boat or if they were actual songs) and Maggie loved your big fridge that was always full of food!!!(Maggie's currency is food lol) You won them over just like you did everyone!
Thank you for being you Uncle Derrick and for spreading joy everywhere you went.
