In both life and now in death, Derek garners more attention than what he is deserving of. He was of no significance in the bodybuilding community, or any other. Whether an online persona or act, or not, his demeanor was repugnant and his lifestyle a cautionary tale. Now in death, as is typical, there is a revisionist mentality that seeks to portray him in a much more positive light. No one should celebrate his passing, but neither should we concern ourselves overly with it either. Thousands of tragedies occur in this world each day. Derek's passing is not among them.
