Derek Warren, 79 of Sunderland, Gravesend and Selsey, succumbed to his illness in Darent Valley Hospital in the early hours of 01 October 2020.

Derek is survived by his three children, Paula, Emma and Martin, his grandchildren, Shannon, Georgia, Samantha, Sarah, Tom, Charlie, Georgia, Leah, Abbie, Toni and Harry and his 9 great grandchildren. Derek was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to everyone.

Derek spent most of his working life at Blue Circle until he retired. He was an Electrician, Shop Steward and gave many speeches on Health and Safety both in the UK and overseas.

Derek was also an integral part of the Freemasons since April 2006.

Derek, thinking of you and your family on this sad day but also a joyous day to remember you as a knowledgeable, helpful and kind gentleman. I knew you for about eight years down at the caravan, they say during your life you will meet people who will leave an impression on you, Derek you were one of those people.

You'll be sadly missed Derek. Thanks for being involved in Martin's upbringing. We're sure your influence has contributed to what Martin is today. Thanks for all you did.

Lived respected, died regretted. I’d only know Derek since he joined Freemasonry in 2006. DEREK was an outstanding person and has left a great big hole in my life.
I’m sure that we will all miss his brightening our lives, but at least he’s back United with Joan, God bless them both!! Philip
