Derek Needham, 1949 - 2024
This site is a tribute to Derek Needham. Son of the late Delphine and Stanley Needham. Brother of Margaret. Father to Wayne, Lisa, Arron and Stacy. Partner of Barbara who he enjoyed his recent years with.
He was an amazing brother, dad and granddad and he will be missed dearly. Derek was so full of love, and was a truly amazing person. The world feels emptier without him and he will be sorely missed.
Derek didn't want to have a funeral, but he was passionate about helping people who were less fortunate so if you feel inclined and are able to contribute, Derek would be very grateful, but there is no need.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
