💕This site is a tribute to Derek Woodley, a loving Husband, Father, Son, Son in law, Brother and dear friend to many.💕

💕Derek will be greatly missed by everyone that was lucky to have known him, especially his loving family.💕

💕Please help us fill this page with happy memories and wishes, to remember the kind hearted lovely (albeit sometimes grumpy) man that he was.💕

💕We hope he is drinking endless amounts of Earl Grey tea, eating biscuits and gaming to his hearts content.💕

💕Evelyn looks up and sees you shining as the brightest star in the sky, James looks up and thinks your in space. He hopes you're a Jedi fighting off Darth Vader and wants to be a spaceman now to come and visit you. Your wife will always love and remember you for the loving husband and hands on Daddy you were, but is still cursing everytime she loads the dishwasher.💕

💕We kindly ask for no flowers because Derek had allergies and would be sneezing and cursing you all 🤣, but if you'd like to donate to charity, our chosen charity is Simon says, which helps bereaved families.

💕Alternatively we are setting up a go fund me page for the children to create a memorial garden for their Daddy in the Garden. Please follow the link if you'd like to contribute:-

💕Derek is much loved and will always be remembered.💕

Miss you Derek! We have worked together in the same office and known last 20 years plus. I still remember when you joined the office…most vividly memory is when you joined office as a young man with long hair! That brings a smile on the face. I lost a great colleague who was a kind and helpful person. Your professional knowledge was excellent and we all relied on your advice. God bless your soul. RIP

I fondly remember Derek from back in our Council Tax days with his lovely long hair and his total intolerance of the muppets ( as he liked to call them) on the phone. Thinking of Claire and the children at this sad time and sending love. Rest in peace Derek

So saddened to hear of Derek's passing. I remember working with him at the council 20+ years ago. He was always a kind soul, always with a smile on his face. My thoughts go to his family at this sad time.
