In loving memory of Derek Nathaniel Johnson, a kind, loving, hard-working, sociable person who was taken from his loved ones suddenly on 7th August 2022.
Known and loved by many people from all walks of life, Derek was someone you could count on in a crisis as well as being the life and soul of any party. He lit up a room with his ever present smile but at the same time, didn't suffer fools gladly.
He loved sports and was a popular member of two football teams as well as a cricket team. For him, playing sports was a way to spend time with old friends and travelling around the world was a way to make new ones.
He loved family and always made time to be around immediate and extended family as much as he could.
He gave his all to his job at BT, completing 43 years service before retiring . His was to enjoy more leisure time with his partner, Christine, whilst also supporting their three children, as they begin to make their mark on the world.
Sadly, this was not to be as he passed away unexpectedly within days of retiring. He will be greatly missed - the world has lost a true gentleman.
Please help us to keep him alive in our hearts by taking the time to share a memory of Derek, here.
Thank you.
