Derek Pierce
Place of birth: Key West, Florida
Captain Derek M. Pierce, loving only son, brother and uncle, left us on June 7, 2016. A young man that left us way too soon, whose knowledge and love of the ocean was unparalleled. Bandit, First Mate canine and love of his life passed away on July 19, 2012. The life and times of Captain Derek and his First Mate Bandit aboard the “Full House” were true seafaring adventures. Derek and Bandit were two of a kind working on the Full House. Now, they are meeting at the Rainbow Bridge and heading out fishing. I can still hear Derek saying “Bandit, watch the wheel.” We will never stop loving you my only son.You will remain in our hearts forever.

FROM OCEANIA: I want to tell Uncle that I love him very much. I enjoyed spending time with him looking at his fishing pictures! He taught me how to play football and we had so much fun! I wish I could give him big hug and kiss again. I will miss him but he will always be with me. Love, Oceania
you were the bravest, strongest, most loving uncle anyone could want. I miss and love you so much! if I had 100 uncles, you would be my very favorite out of all 100. I remember that when I was 3, I was scared of you, but now it's the other way around! I'm glad your with bandit and Nana. I am doing a special song dedicated to you. miss and love you, your niece Savannah.
The void in my heart with you leaving will never be filled. I can only imagine when Bandit,, Midnite, and Rebel met you at the Rainbow Bridge. The blue ocean was forever in your beautiful blue eyes my son. My heart will ache forever but the happy memories of you can never be replaced nor forgotten. I love you forever Derek!
My heart goes out to Mike and Sharon. You raised a strong, caring and honest young man. Stay proud. Love you, Mike and Karen
