IRONS, Derek Stephen - 38, Halifax. It is with great sadness, that we the family, announce the passing of Derek on Thursday, February 12, 2009. Derek enjoyed biking and hunting with his brother.

Derek will be lovingly remembered by his father, Douglas; sisters, Debbie (Mike); Heather (Mike); brother, Dougie (Terri); grandmothers, Effie Fiander and Emily Irons, all of Harrietsfield; he was a fabulous uncle to, Breanna, Corey, Chad, Brennan, and Brycen. He was predeceased by his mother, Colleen (Fiander); grandfathers, Fred Fiander and George Irons. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the East Coast Forensic family who appreciated his sense of humour and the wonderful person he was. Arrangements are under the direction of J. Albert Walker Funeral Home (2005) Ltd., 149 Herring Cove Rd., Spryfield (477-5601). By request there will be no visitation at the funeral home; visits to the family home are welcome.

We will always miss his wonderful smile and the twinkle in those beautiful blue eyes. Now we have to let him go, until the time comes again to say Hello. Love always, Family"
