ROSE, Derrick Blair Rose -
December 30, 1956 - January 16, 2024
After a short but courageous battle with liver cancer (diagnosed on November 27), Derrick passed away on January 16, 2024.
Derrick's last wish was to leave hospital and go home.
He spent his last few days at home with his loving family surrounding, supporting and caring for him.
Derrick leaves behind his soul mate of over 40 years Janet, his two adored sons Brandon and Blair, sisters Sandra (Harold) and Cynthia (Ian), his brother Stanley (Neli), loving sister-in-law Linda (Ron), brother-in-law David (Shirley) and nephews/nieces Robert, Elyse, Jocelyn, Brad, Shaun, Christopher, Stephen, and Crystal.
He brought smiles to many faces through his many acts of kindness, story telling, matter of fact attitude and sense of humour.
Derrick was loved by all and will be missed immensely.
We take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace and that predeceased loved ones were there to guide him on his journey.
As per Derrick's wishes cremation has taken place and a celebration of Derrick's life will take place at a later date.
