Posthumous Degree

At its May 3, 2008 graduation ceremony The King's University College will grant Derrick , posthumously, a Bachelor of Commerce degree. This will be King's first posthumous degree and we couldn't think of a better recipient.

While the policy framework which allows conferring the degree was under development at the time of Derrick's death, it was expedited to ensure the degree could be granted at this year's grad. We know this will be meaningful for Derrick's classmates; many of whom continue to grieve his passing. King's is thankful that representatives of Derrick's family will be able to be present to receive the degree on his behalf.

The grad ceremony takes place at Evangel Pentacostal Church at 2:00.

Organ Donation Story in Media

Edmonton Remembrance Service

A remembrance service was held for Derrick Timmermans at The King's University College on Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Highlighted by the consoling words of Derrick's sisters, the service provided an opportunity for several hundred friends, family, roommates, classmates, workmates and professors to support each other in coming to terms with what Campus Chaplain, Julianne Gilchrist appropriately termed "the boulder that's been dropped in our river." To hear portions of the service you can download the following sections (mp3 format)

Derrick

I am one of your fathers friends from the netherlands, and very proud of my own children.
So I image, and
I would like everyone to know:

When dark and Light meet
we all know what happens
but during it
it can be
a very heavy task

you know there are friends all over the world.
Job van der Waals.

Oak Room Set Aside

If you would like a quiet place to pray, talk, or just silently grieve Derrick's death in a place of remembrance, the Oak Room (off cafeteria) has been set aside for that purpose until Wednesday. A memorial book has been placed there, where you can record your memories of Derrick. Feel free to use this space any time.

BUSI 399 Leadership slideshow

My best memories of Derrick are from the BUSI 399 Leadership (2006) course, particularly the five-day hike up Berg Lake Trail to Mt. Robson. Here is a slideshow of the hike with Derrick and some of his classmates.

King's Remembrance Service

A remembrance service for Derrick will be held at King's on Wednesday, February 27 at noon in the atrium. All who knew Derrick are warmly welcomed to attend.

Blog Initiated

We are initiating this blog about Derrick to allow a place his community of friends, family, classmates and teachers to remember and honor him. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this celebration of his energy, contributions, devotion and passions. He will be greatly missed but hopefully through this site we will find solace in our memories of his life, and our assurance of his heavenly destiny.
