It is with deep sadness that we extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Derek Powers, a respected resident of McFarland, Wisconsin, and a dedicated Dock Supervisor on the 3rd shift at Certco Foods in Fitchburg. Derek’s untimely death has brought profound sorrow to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. His passing has left a noticeable void within his community and workplace, where he was admired not only for his commitment to his role but also for his integrity, warmth, and steadfast work ethic.

Derek built a meaningful life rooted in loyalty, responsibility, and genuine care for those around him. As a valued member of the Certco Foods team, he approached his work with discipline, professionalism, and quiet leadership. Colleagues appreciated his reliability, his willingness to support others, and the positive energy he brought to even the most demanding shifts. His presence played an integral role in the smooth operation of the dock, and his absence will be deeply felt by everyone who worked alongside him.

Beyond his professional dedication, Derek was known for his thoughtful nature and the kindness he extended to others. Friends and loved ones describe him as someone who listened with sincerity, offered help without hesitation, and fostered meaningful relationships built on respect and trust. His ability to make those around him feel valued and supported was one of his greatest strengths.

Derek studied at Madison College, where he further developed the skills and determination that shaped his career and contributed to the person he became. His journey—from his education to his work and the life he built in McFarland—reflects his commitment to personal growth, responsibility, and creating a stable, compassionate environment for those he cared about.

As the McFarland and Fitchburg communities mourn his loss, they also honor the legacy he leaves behind: a legacy of dedication, kindness, and integrity that will continue to inspire those who knew him. Though his life ended far too soon, the impact of his character and generosity will be remembered for years to come.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Derek’s family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the memories they shared and in knowing that Derek touched the lives of many with his unwavering heart and genuine spirit. May he rest in peace.
