“I'm so sorry to hear about coach DeRock. This man was not only my wrestling coach for all my three years in high school but, he was a man that I looked up to. His life was not only about sports and teaching but far more about guiding young men and women about the true meaning of life. I'll miss this man so much and yet I'm so blessed I got to know him. In 2014 I was very fortunate to go see coach get inducted to the Athletic Hall of Fame Induction. My prayers go out to all the DeRock family.”
