IN MEMORY OF: SCHATZ, Derek

September 17, 1987 - August 6, 2012

If tears could build a highway
And memories a lane
We'd walk right up to heaven
To see you smile again ....

Five years have gone by ...it's hard to believe. Not a day passes Derek that you are not missed .... We love and miss you every moment of every day. Love from Mom and Bruce....Dad and Rhonda...Brett, Britt, Ali and Riley ... Kaelynn and Colin ... Most of all, Annelee sends her love to her Angel Daddy .....

    Five years have passed and we want to say thank you to Brett and Kaelynn; your strength and patience has been incredible. You've witnessed a lot of heartbreak in this family through all of this and yet you participated in celebrating your brother many times. You are so very special and loved by us, and we value your unconditional love. To Claire Janzen; thank you for your guidance and counseling through the tears and sleepless nights. To our family who hugged often and kept us going and supported us. To our work families; we are grateful for your understanding and being so kind to us. To our many friends; how often you allowed us to keep sharing Derek stories. You have truly been a large part of our healing. Talking and tears have helped to heal us because you sat and listened. To Derek's friends; so many gifts and great stories shared by you that would bring us laughter and peace. Then there is time spent with Derek's little girl Annelee; we are so grateful for having her in our lives. She reminds us of him in so many ways. Annelee you are a true blessing. To our Derek; memories are forever and we thank God for that.
    Dad and Rhonda

    I think of Schatzie often, he was one of my favorites. That smile of his could brighten the dreariest day & nobody worked harder, always a pleasure to be around. He is missed!
