Derek Daniel Cumminsky, aka "Dren" Feb 29th, 1972 - Nov 30th, 2025 Quote: "I Just Want to Make People Smile" ======================================== Dren (he Loved being called this), was the kind of person that Loved Making Folks Laugh and Smile! All he wanted to do was try to make things Better for Others… He did this while Ignoring his own Pain, Worry, and Stress he Held Inside about his Own body… Because to Dren - as long as YOU were ok, He could be Ok Dren wore Many Hats - Literally! - He had a Hat to Dress Up with - He had a Hat for when he did his Amazing Drawings - He had a Hat for When he was Happy! - He Had a Hat when he would Cry for Others… Yes, Dren was MORE than just "Derek" - He was a Man who would Bring Love with Open Arms and Big Smiles - He would Drop what Ever he was Doing - Just to Help - He was Playful and Kind --- This made the Children Love having him Around - His Amazing Way with Animals - They Trusted Him, even the wild creatures --- I can't tell you how many he nursed back to health - and To See Him Work with his Amazing Strength was an Awe to See! All Dren wanted out of Life was - to Live a Life of Happiness - to Love and Be Loved - to Laugh with Family and Friends Dren Wanted Nothing More than to Have Someone to Love, and to be Loved Back. Dren wanted to LIVE - LOVE - LAUGH with No Fears, No Pain, No Stress about tomorrow… But the world can be cruel…especially to those with Tons of Love in their Hearts… ======================================== For those who Knew Dren - aka Derek Please Keep Him Alive in your Hearts! The Good Times in your Thoughts! Because it's Not Goodbye… It's just - "See You Later" ======================================== Dren, We Love You More than We Had Time to Show! We can See You in our Hearts and Minds As You Are: Standing Strong Hair Long Surrounded by All the Creatures that Loved You and Greeted by Your Beloved Family, Friends & Loved Ones YOU WILL BE MISSED DEARLY, DREN!!! YOU MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO BE IN!!! ======================================== But the Heavens Above Stood Their Ground They Needed Their Warrior Back! So… on Nov 30th at 9:38am Dren Passed away His Fight with Cancer had Finally Come to a Peaceful End. He was a Cancer Survivor from the First time… We got to Keep Him With Us for 3 More Years… ======================================== ✝️ SERVICES: ============ ⛪ LOCATION: Richards-Bradys Funeral Home in Coxsackie 📆 Day: December 16th, 2025 🕛 TIME: Promptly at 12noon ⚱️ BURIAL: St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery ======================================== Please Sign the Book upon Entering So I can Thank Everyone who Arrived. - We would Very Greatly Appreciate it - and So Would Dren - aka Derek We Thank You in Advance!
