In loving memory of Derek Frank Samson who sadly passed away on 15th July 2025 in The Old Lodge Nursing Home Etwall Derby aged 66 years. Derek will be sadly missed by his loving family and friends.

Derek fought hard since being diagnosed with MND in May 2024. He was courageous and determined to live his best life in his final months, despite the many and varied challenges the disease threw at him.

He taught many to drive in the Littleover and Mickleover area over the last 11 years. He loved helping each and every one of his clients achieve their dreams of learning to drive.

He loved keeping fit. Boxing was his favourite sport and he loved doing his boxing training. For many years he was a member of David Lloyds gym and was there almost every day.

He was also a fan of Chelsea FC along with his son Matt, and one of his last enjoyable memories will have been watching them win the Club World Cup.

Derek had many interests over the years, playing table tennis, badminton and learning to play the guitar are just a few examples.

He also enjoyed travel, visiting many places around the world and creating wonderful memories that his family will treasure forever

He will be greatly missed. He touched the hearts of many and will live on in our treasured memories.
