Derrick resided in several areas in the State of New York before deciding later to "Take it to the South".

Derrick loved speaking in his native tongue and

enjoyed listening to reggae music. His favorite artist included Burning Spear, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and many others. Derrick's favorite meals included fish, tea, soups, jerk chicken and ox tails made right.
