Derek was a great friend to me. I´ve known Derek for about 14 years. He was a founding father of the military gaming community when he built T-W-L Marines. His creativity, leadership, inspiration, execution, excellence and true friendship is a loss to so many people I know. I am truly hurt to lose Derek. My condolences to the Mullin Family and to T-W-L where Derek shaped the lives for so many of us. It was an honor to be his friend. I am honored to be hosting a memorial for Derek in the next 2 weeks in the gaming community with multiple crews participating. Derek deserves our best and highest recognition.
