Even though Derek was younger than me, I always looked up to him and idolized him. It is incredibly sad and I can’t believe he is gone. Tim, I hope you and your family are doing okay please let me know if you need anything.
Tim, i am so shocked! i have no idea how i made my way through to this page. i started searching for justin gaethje the wrestler from safford arizona and ended up here. Please accept my condolences . i am really very saddened by this as i know you very well , but i also know that you are as tough as they come and you will pull through this. May God be with you and your family. Wishing you the best my friend. Anjum from the allegheny years—
I feel a great deal of sadness as I think of the loss of this friend who I spent time with in my younger years.
When I think of Derek, I think of commitment and compassion. I remember Derek showing much commitment in the sports he engaged in, but also his friendships. I experienced Derek as being committed to his friendship with me and with other peers. I also remember Derek showing care and compassion to those around him. I always had a sense that he had my back and would be there for me if I reached out to him.
As I have been grieving the loss of this good man, I have been keeping commitment and compassion close in my relationships to honor him.
Not sure if you guys remember me, but I sure remember you Derek. You and I wrestled together the summer before (I believe) you started high school. We trained for nationals together. Prior to that we wrestled each other in a couple freestyle tournaments. The first time you kicked my ass, and then second time I barely beat you. To this day it’s my proudest wrestling memory, because I knew you were better than me and you probably win that match 99 times out of a 100.
Anyways, I stumbled upon this news and it breaks my heart. I really don’t know what to say, but thank you for the awesome memories. And to your family, I am so sorry for the loss and can’t imagine what this has been like.
Derek, You were loved so much! Can’t believe you are gone.
Our precious nephew…we are heart broken but know you are with Jesus and we will see you again❤️?
