Funeral service has never been just a profession—it has been a calling.
Derek began working in funeral service at the age of 15, learning firsthand the importance of compassion, respect, and caring for families during their greatest time of need. Although his career later led him into construction, real estate, and business ownership, he always believed funeral service was where he could make the greatest difference.
Owning a funeral home was never something Derek expected. Yet when the opportunity came to preserve a long-standing tradition of serving Shawnee families, he embraced it wholeheartedly. Today, as Owner, Funeral Director, and Embalmer of Legacy Memorial Services, Derek combines decades of business experience with a servant's heart, providing families with personal attention, honest guidance, and exceptional care.
His mission is simple: to serve every family with the same compassion, dignity, and respect he would want for his own family.
