A Life Well Lived-Derrick Gatewood Sr.

On Wednesday, January 17, 2024, we lost an amazing dad, husband, brother, son, uncle, and friend. His passing left a gaping hole in our lives that can never be filled. He was a man who loved his five children and family unconditionally and had a smile that could light up any room. Our dad had the biggest heart and was always willing to help those around him without hesitation,offering advice even when it wasn't asked for but greatly appreciated.Sometimes misunderstood but we knew no matter what love was the beginning and end of anything when it came to his children,family and friends.

We want to give our beloved father a fitting final goodbye with a celebration of life ceremony because he deserves nothing less. Unfortunately, this tragedy comes at a time when his family is already facing significant financial hardships due unforeseen circumstances. Any donations or contributions towards covering funeral expenses would be greatly appreciated in helping us lay him to rest gracefully.
