RIP Derek Anthony - 12-08-13

[Mattyh7688]

On his facebook many close friends are writing RIP.



"I'm sure many of you are starting to hear the news and are wondering. It is with great sadness and shock, quite honestly, that I inform friends & family of the passing of my brother, Derek Anthony. The kid fought through more fights than I could ever imagine and he doesn't have to fight anymore. We all love him and your thoughts and prayers are certainly appreciated" from his brother.

Not surprised.  Not concerned either.

Don't see anything about RIP on his face book page.

If only we would have warned him years ago, oh wait!  

[WalterWhite]

I see them on his FB and am checking for more info.  There are RIP's on both his FB pages.

Derek Springer, aka Derek Anthony, passed away this evening. Derek was my namesake, but in many ways we were complete opposites. He was a die-hard Yankees fan; while I prefer the team in Queens. Derek was big and muscular, and while some might consider me big, I am in no ways muscular. Derek was tanned and tattooed, while I am neither.

But despite our differences he and I seemed to hit it off on Facebook, as I was always one to poke him in the ribs about the shortcomings of the Yankees, and he certainly gave it back to me in spades about the Mets. Derek loved life and loved his family, as many of you who were his friends can attest. He always made it a point to tell me how funny my stupid posts were to him, and I'm glad I was able to bring a tiny bit of joy into his life.


Derek, if you're reading this, I know you're having a ball where ever you are. I know you'll be rooting for the Yanks, but I'll still be a hater!  RIP Derek. You are missed.

I'm actually sad about this, not because I knew the man, but because we watched in realtime a man destroy himself in pursuit of what was essentially, horse shit.  It honestly was a disheartening thing to see in the end.

RIP Derek.

It's true. Palumbo confirmed in that linked thread.

X2. Say what you want about the guy, he has a family and those individuals are suffering right now. It's hard to see someone die like this, especially when it was preventable.
R.I.P Derek and prayers to his family

Confirmed on rx, fb, twitter.seems real.

Well I have to say he did some damage to himself he may of lived longer if not doing the drugs but he was here a long time another BB going down this year I hate it for the his daughter.
