Obituary of Derik Wayne Barton

Derik Wayne Barton, age 34, of Colonial Heights passed away on Thursday, April 21, 2022. He was the son of Terry William Barton and Andrea Denise Blair. 

Derik was a man who enjoyed nature and being outdoors, animals, making jewelry, and studied gemology. Derik’s family meant the world to him and he always enjoyed spending time with them. He enjoyed reading, writing poetry and photography. One of his favorite things to do was to build a fire and he spent a lot of time around the fireplace.

Several other dear friends and extended family remain to carry on his legacy.  

He was preceded in passing by his maternal grandparents Joan and D.W. Scoggins.
