He grew up in Toronto, where he met and married Cheryl Doyle on August 24, 1991. Derrick cherished his family above all else, and was a committed and devoted husband to Cheryl and a tremendously loving and supportive father to their three children Amanda, Chad and Brad. He was a proud Papa to granddaughter Hailey and the best father-in-law in the world to Roodi.
