DERRICK WAYNE LEWIS "POPPA LOC", was born April 15, 1991, in Houma, LA to
the late Shawanda Faye Lewis and Derrick Wayne Sims. Derrick was the 2nd born
and was the first boy. The family relocated to Los Angeles at an early age. Derrick
lost his mother at an early age and moved to Indiana with his father Derrick Sims
and Tamera Bradley, where he attended school, was a model student and played
football and collected many trophies and awards
Derrick moved to Las Vegas where he spent his adult life.
To know Derrick is to love him. He had a heart of gold and would give his last
dollar and the shirt off of his back. Derrick was very independent and an amazing
cook-he could have easily been a Master Chef. Derrick loved sports and was an
avid Raiders fan. He was very excited when the team moved to Las Vegas, where
he resided. He spent a lot of time bonding with his Dad during their time watching
sports and games, a passion that they both loved.
Derrick loved his family. Derrick was blessed with one son, Kashmere Wayne
Riley-Lewis born on July 17, 2017-one of the happiest days of his life. Kashmere
was his world and he could do no wrong in Derrick's eyes. He was a great son,
father, brother and uncle
Derrick became ill approximately 2 years ago. Derrick closed his eyes and departed
this earth on Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24, 2023. Derrick is preceded
in death by his mother, Shawanda Faye Lewis.
He leaves to cherish his memory: his son, Kashmere Wayne Riley-Lewis, his
dad, Derrick Sims (Tamera); Two sisters, Tawanda Lewis-Washington (Quinton)
Riley Ballinger and two younger brothers, DeShawn Lewis and Samuel Dotie,
III; Stepsisters: Megan Woods (Lamar), Morgan Omekeh (Michael); Stepbrother
Rolonte Bradley; Nephews, JaMarion Jackson, JaZarie Lewis, Jordan Thrower, Cecil
Bonner, Jr.; Nieces: Jurnee Thrower, Jurzee Thrower & J'Lahni Bonner and a host
of family and friends.
Rest Peacefully Derrick", we'll miss you until we see you again

WEEP NOT FOR ME Weep not for me though I have goneInto that gentle nightGrieve if you will, but not for longUpon my soul’s sweet flightI am at peace, my soul’s at restThere is no need for tearsFor with your love I was so blessedFor all those many yearsThere is no pain, I suffer notThe fear is now all gonePut now these things out of your thoughtsIn your memory I live onRemember not my fight for breathRemember not the strifePlease do not dwell upon my deathBut celebrate my life
