Derrick Ross

Derrick Michael Ross 

November 24, 1983 – January 5, 2024 

 

It is with profound sadness that we share, Derrick was found on January 5, 2024, sleeping comfortably at home in Pilot Butte, Sask.  

Derrick came from a family with a history of heart conditions, high cholesterol and was battling severe anxiety. A heart attack took Derrick from us way too early, with him went a piece of our hearts.  

His journey has begun to the spirit world to join his Grandma Rose, Grandma Jean, Grandpa Don and Grandpa Roland and his fur baby Princess Chloe.  

Derrick is survived by his spouse Cory, stepdaughter Torrie, dog Jax, his parents Bonny and Don, brother Donald, Mother-in-law Dixie Thomas and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends. Honorable mention he loved Tammy Langmaier and the Taco Time Crew as well Judy Masney and all the Casino Regina Coworker’s, finally Dori Steele at the Camp.  

Derrick did not want us to have a funeral service for him and we will honor his request, so please say a prayer and farewell in your own way.  

In lieu of flowers we encourage everyone to donate to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
