Derek Folahan Adeniran, 45, left this world on January 1, 2025. While complex, he touched the lives and hearts of many. Derek spoke often with great affection about his three children, his Grandpa Andrew and his pride in serving in the active Army and the National Guard. He genuinely loved baseball, going to the gym, being in nature, recent Oregon Coast trip, country music and cherished the pages of a good book, including the bible. Throughout his journey, he earned several degrees, reflecting his dedication to learning and personal growth.
He is deeply missed by all who cherished him, including his twin brother, Justin, younger brother, Tyson, his beloved children, Kayla, Taylor and Chloe, his mother, Andrea (Mike), uncles Arlyn, Allen (Ginger) and Anthony, Grandma Jo, cousins Michele, Jody, Beth and Bobby, and Derek's dear companion, Terina, son Nick, and little dog Lola and all those who kept him in their prayers. Derek's adventurous spirit and kindness will surely be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
We love you, Derek. Be at peace.
