As a loving father to Xavier Robinson, Derek cherished every moment spent with his son. Their bond transcended the ordinary as they embarked on adventures together through laughter and love. The foundation Derek laid for Xavier will forever be a testament to his character and devotion.

Derek's parents Larry Crump and Earnestine Johnson held a special place in his heart. Their unwavering support and unconditional love helped shape him into the extraordinary person he became. Derek's sisters Teresa Reid and Accietra Johnson were not only siblings but also confidants who shared a lifetime of memories with him.

Though his physical presence may no longer be with us, Derek's spirit will continue to shine brightly through the memories he leaves behind. We will forever remember his joyous laughter, his empathetic heart, and the way he made us feel valued and cherished.

In this time of mourning, let us honor Derek Earl Johnson by celebrating his remarkable journey on Earth. May his vibrant spirit guide us towards compassion, love, and understanding. Rest in eternal peace, dear Derek, knowing that your legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to have known you.
