Derrick Calvin Montgomery

On Sunday, July twenty-fourth, in 1960, the world was graced with Derrick Calvin Montgomery, to the parents of Calvin and Christine Montgomery. He was the eldest of four children, and was born in Hemphill, Tx. Derrick passed away Sunday, November seventeenth, 2019.
Derrick’s formal education was through Houston Independent School District, and through his own skills and collected knowledge, he became an industrial electrician. Due to his expertise in his trade, he was well known and sought after by various companies for foreman and superintendent positions. Derrick honed his craft and worked endlessly till his illness came, totaling over twenty years of dedicated, hard work.
Derrick was a huge fan of the Houston Texans, and would clear rooms if people were too noisy for him to watch his team play. Derrick also enjoyed family time, BBQing with friends and family, his loving children and grandchildren, and his wonderful attitude and bounteous love made all these moments with him precious and special to us all.
