Mr. Speaker, we recently lost a good one in Regina. Derek Meyers passed away on March 28. He was 45, he was an oil man, he was a sports broadcaster and he was the MLA for Regina Walsh Acres. Derek's passions were his family, friends and community, and he instilled these traits in his kids. Derek was one of the most positive and enthusiastic people I have ever met. His brother Darcy summed him up perfectly. With Derek, “It was the journey and the company that mattered, not the destination...It was about enjoying life together, building great memories and adding friends along the way.” Derek's friend Jill said, “The seemingly mundane in Derek’s world could become thrilling, joyful and full of ease and laughter.” Derek's sister Brandi compared him to the lightbulb. She wished her brother had not burned so bright because the brightest bulbs always burn out the quickest. I consider Derek my ”where and when” friend. Could he come play in a ball hockey tournament? “I am in. Where and when?” Want to come door-knocking in February? It is -30. “I am in. Where and when?” Hey bud, want to just meet up for a beer and just talk about our families, the Riders, anything but work? “I am in. Where and when?” Derek had three young kids, loved politics and sports. We had a lot in common. His infectious positivity just made a person feel better. Our thoughts and prayers are with his partner Laurie, kids Dayn, Sebastian and little Eisley. May my friend rest in peace. I will see him for beers again someday. I am just not sure where and when.
