Derrick was born on Wednesday, June 11, 1986 to the union of Derrick Vance and Anita Major Warren in Tampa, FL, the first child born of three children. He was baptized at an early age at the St. Matthews M.B.C., Tampa, Florida – Bishop James Howell. He attended school in Tampa, FL, Lexington, KY, Alpharetta, GA, Lewisville, CO., Roswell, GA. and was a graduate of Centennial High School (Roswell) class of 2004. Following high School, Derrick attended Morehouse College where he majored in Physics. He later transferred to Southern University and was a senior Computer Science major. While at Southern, Derrick was passionate about learning and helping others succeed. He served as President of the Association for Computing Machinery and also worked as an Information Technology Intern for the Southern University Alumni Federation managing the newsletter, assisting with website maintenance and membership related analytics. Friends fondly called him "D Heav" and family referred to him as 'Lil' Derrick and "D2". After graduation, he planned to further his studies in Data Science and Information Systems.
Derrick was an avid sports (diehard Falcons and Hawks) and video game fan. He was also a scholar and academician who was very proud of his digital credentials/badges (over 20) and other educational accolades. What made him extra special was his desire to help others achieve the same. A loyal friend, he enjoyed fellowshipping, supporting others and spending time with family and friends. His unexpected passing leaves a void, but we know that his memory will live on in those who knew and loved him.
Derrick was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Calvin Warren and his maternal grandmother, Alberta Williams; two uncles, Bobby Major and Tommy Allen and one aunt, Mary Long. Derrick suddenly, yet peacefully transitioned to eternal rest on Saturday, September 4, 2021 in Atlanta GA. "GONE TOO SOON"
Embracing his heart and memory are his precious daughter, Emersyn Warren of Atlanta, GA; loving parents, Derrick and Anita Warren, both of Baton Rouge, LA; two siblings, Dillon Warren of Long Beach, CA and Dhalyn Warren of Harlem, NY; his paternal grandmother, Idell Warren –Bellard of Bastrop, LA; a godson, Julian Armstrong of Alpharetta, GA; his aunts and uncles, Gwen (Doyle) Bennett of Baton Rouge, La.; Hattie (Carl) Franklin, Rosa (Eddie) Thompson, Clara Cain, James (Betty) Allen and Hattie Allen, all of Shreveport, LA, Michael (Lillie) Major of Pauls Valley, OK, Evelyn (Joe) Brown of Grand Prairie, TX, Calvin (Annette) Warren of Placentia, CA, Carla (Darien) Cornelius of Lewisville, TX, Connie White of Ruston, LA, Ralph (Linda) Price of Las Vegas, NV and John Long of Dumfries, VA; other survivors include grand aunts, uncles, cousins, God siblings and friends who are encouraged by the word of God knowing that God is a refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble.
