I don’t know any of you folks but I read about your son/husbands passing and just want you all to know how very sorry I am for your loss. Cancer is such an ugly word and yet it takes people of all ages. Nic was just to young to lose his life to this awful disease. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
Sara Christensen says
(Going to try this again as it doesn’t look like it went through the first time). I am technically one of Nic’s co-workers. Williams is very large, so I never got to meet him. Sounds like he was a wonderful man, and this is echoed in the writings of our CEO as he let us all know. Thank you for sharing him with us, even if only in this memorial page. I am a believer and can assuredly tell you that Jesus is not far off. He weeps with you. Cancer is a thief! My hope for you as you adjust is that you grieve well. My prayer group and I will be able to pray for you as well. Please accept my condolences.

Sending prayers to Derrick and family during this most difficult time
Chris & Cheri George says
We watched Derrick struggle at work trying to be positive and hold his head high. It’s not right for a child to precede their parents in death. Our continued prayers are with you Derrick, Krishna and family
