Memories of Derrick Niba

I Love You Derrick!!!

cniba Jan 16, 2013

Hello Derrick 'HoneyBoy' Niba, my handsome son, I miss you beyond words or my imagination. I am grateful to God who blessed me with you and that you made a difference in my life. What an honor and blessing to be your Mom and to know the experience and power of LOVE.

Kiyah and I celebrated Christmas (2012) together; we had a good time with lots of laughs and tender moments to help heal our hearts that miss YOU.

I watched your tribute DVD the other day because I needed to. It helps to keep me grounded. It's not easy without you Derrick but I do my best with God's help and I do so to honor YOU: your life, your essence and your legacy. I remain proud to be your Mom, and I remain strong because LOVE NEVER DIES!

I Love You Derrick!!! Forever, MOM.

Happy Birthday...

REALLY MISSING YOU! thinking of little memories growing up and you were in almost all of them imitating someone and just making plans for when we grew up. We're all grown now and God had other plans. Miss you dearly hun. Simple words nor Joyful sounds can explain. RIP

Happy Birthday, D!

Memorial - Chicago (hometown)

Shawn and Carolyn Dec 23, 2009

Today we celebrated the kife of Derrick in Chicago...it was so joyous and wonderful. The laughs we shared, our memories of his life together with ours, seeing all the family and friends, the hugs, the smiles. the thought that our "angel" continues to shine and has guided us together for the holidays. Don't cry for our angel, rejoice for his life and his time with us all.

With all my heart..To' Derrick "Dewitt" Niba, you will always be our Angel and will never be forgotten. Watch over me and guide me this day forward. Love Always...Your Cousin, Auntie, Sister, Friend and Confidant..Cuz'n "K"...Carolyn

Forever in Our Hearts

Michea A Dobson Dec 19, 2009

None of us can believe he's gone. starting from Takoma (for me) and Blair til now, he's always been there. Now we have to accept that he is definitely an angel we met for a brief period of time and is now going on to enjoy eternity.

We cannot be mad he is gone, we can only accept that he will forever watch over us. It was definitely sudden and unexpected, but so is life, it is too short, we have to cherish our loved ones at all times.

His passing definitely made us realize that Derrick was here for a reason, and has served his purpose and has moved on.

I miss him. My heart goes out to the family as well.

My memory

Shenell Williams Dec 13, 2009

My sympathy goes to the family along with all his friends for Derricks lost. The last time i spoke to Derrick on AIM about a month ago he was on his way to the hospital. I'm on my way to the hospital AGAIN! is what he will always say..and we both laughed. I wished him all the best and told him to let me know if he needed anything. With him being who he was even if he needed something he will never say it and make it seem like everything was just fine. I also remember back in Piney Branch when we hated our parts n the play and always made fun of the man who will let us out for recess..lol we reminisced on that even in our years in HS. Derrick will truly be missed, Even though there really aren't any words of comfort. Always remember his grin, his chuckle, and the sound effects he would make when he animated something..lol those thoughts along with others are truly unforgettable moments. He shall always be with us in his own little way.. REST IN PEACE ... Love Shenell

With Deepest Sympathy

Mbone Ngalame Mballe Dec 12, 2009

My sincere condolence to the family on this tragic loss. May the Lord comfort and keep you as only He can. I had the opportunity to meet Derrick a couple of years ago and I know that you all were very fond of him. May his light continue to shine in the hearts of all he impacted.

Goodbye Honeyboy

Nina Mfonfu Dec 11, 2009

Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our golden child Derrick
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And we will always love you
from now to eternity
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will
