I have known Derek for 7 years. I'm just really in shock right now.

He was such a hard worker if there was an optional day Derek was always there. He thought all practices for him were mandatory. He never took for granted that he was an NHL player. He was really big into charities. Very outgoing. He had a really funny sense of humor. Always making people laugh or lightening the mood.
The funniest thing about Derek was after a game he would leave the arenas dressed like a school teacher with his sweater vests and glasses.
