16-year old Derrion Albert was beaten to death near the Agape Community Center in Chicago.

Derrion Albert was laid to rest Saturday after a three-hour funeral attended by the well-known, those who knew him well and others who just wanted to pay their respects.

I did not know Derrion Albert but I felt that I should make this memorial for him so people can give tribute to him. There are no words to express how I feel about those behind his death I just hope that justice is served for Derrion and his family.

I PAY TRIBUTE TO A YOUNG MAN WHOSE SENSELESS DEATH BROUGHT A NATION TO ITS KNEES TWO YEARS AGO. LIKE MOST PEOPLE I DIDNT KNOW DERRION BUT I WATCHED IN HORROR AS HE TOOK HIS LAST BREATH AT THE HANDS OF PEERS OF HIS OWN COMMUNITY. EVEN OVER TWO YEARS LATER, I STILL THINK ABOUT THAT DAY IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE WORLD WAS INTRODUCED TO DERRION ABLBERT, A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS SO FULL OF PROMISE AND POTENTIAL , NEVER GAVE HIS MAMA ANY TROUBLE AND WAS A DEVOTED BIG BROTHER. GOD WAS GROOMING HIM FOR SOMETHING MORE GREATER AND BIGGER THAN WE COULD IMAGINE. HES WALKING AMONG KINGS AND HE DOESNT HAVE A WORRY IN THE WORLD. HE IS SAFE NOW AND I AM QUITE SURE HIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF BRUTAL MURDER THAT TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS. THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT I CAN EXPRESS THAT WILL TAKE THE GRIEF FROM HIS MOTHER HOWEVER, I CAN OFFER HER MY PRAYERS AND MY FAITH THAT I HAVE IN OUR FATHER. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS YOUNG MAN BECAUSE HE WOKE ME UP AND MADE ME AWARE OF PROBLEMS IN OTHER PLACES . I WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE CRIME STATISTICS IN CHICAGO AND HOW THE YOUTH ARE CONSTANTLY DESTROYING ONE ANOTHER . THERE WERE MANY BEFORE DERRION AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE AFTER HIM BUT THIS BABY BOY REALLY AND TRULY TOUCHED MY HEART AND MY SOUL. HES MORE THAN A STATISTIC ,... HE IS DERRION ALBERT , A BOY WHO WALKED TO SCHOOL BUT NEVER MADE IT BACK HOME. GOOD NIGHT DERRION. I HAVE TRIED SO HARD TO PUT YOU TO REST IN MY MIND. THERES A LESSON AND A REASON IN THIS SOMEWHERE. REST IN PARADISE

God wants his Angels

To the family and Friends of Derrion Albert, I did not know him, but this tragedy has hit all who have a heart. I am so very sorry for your lost of your loved one and I hope and pray that god gives you all the peace your heart desires. When I first saw the video when it happened 2 years ago I cried myself sick, now 2 years later it has the same impact on me and I can never understand why someone would react to another human being in such a way. I am over joyed that justice was served to those involved in this incident. I will continue to pray for all who has lost a love one, and pray that our young men will wake up and really think about what is important in life.

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Derrion
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.

We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERRION

XXX To An Angel Above Derrion XXX

You may be gone

To site, To sound, To touch

But you are near

In the sunlight your warm embrace

In the stars your eyes shine

In the wind your voice whispers between the trees

Your love in the sunset

So you never really leave.

X R.I.P Derrion X

xxx So Very sorry to his family & friends for his passing in such a tragic way xxx
