Derrick Lee Sutherland, 35, of Ada, Oklahoma passed away Friday, July 2nd, 2021 in Roff, Oklahoma.

Derrick graced this world with his presence on January 30, 1986 in Montrose, Colorado to Rick Sutherland and Julie Cox. Derrick lived in Colorado until the age of 5 and moved to Oklahoma.

Derrick met the love of his life, Chanda Sutherland and married April 10, 2009 at Fossil Creek Ranch in Fitzhugh, Oklahoma. They have three children Savannah, Briar and Brilee.

Derrick was self-employed, creating Sutherland Trucking with his wife by his side. They ventured from gravel hauling into the business it is today and will continue to be, heavy hauling specialist. On most days you would find Derrick behind the wheel and Chanda chasing down High Maintenance and his "Hoes".

Derrick's hero was his dad, Derrick strove to be just like him in so many ways. To know Derrick was an honor and privilege. He lived with passion and loved with his whole heart. Most of all, Derrick loved and cherished his family.

Derrick was a pusher. It was a push to be better than yesterday, a push to learn more, a push to laugh when you are pissed off at the world. He pushed even when people doubted him. Derrick never sat around without dreaming, talking and planning his next adventure. He turned all those dreams, talks and plans into reality for him and his family. His hobbies turned into his life adventures. Boating, Snowmobiling, Side by sides and flying were the things he enjoyed the most with family and friends when he had down time from trucking.

Derrick was preceded in death by his grandparents, Pearl and Oneita Sutherland, Aunt's Shirley Woods and Mikki Curtis and an Uncle, Larry Sutherland and Cousins Trent, Garrett and Tony.

He is survived by his wife Chanda, their three children Savannah, Briar and Brilee, Father Rick Sutherland and wife Stephanie, Stepdad Jeff Curtis, Mother Julie Cox and husband Wallace, Brothers Brandon Sutherland and wife Lindsey, Lane Sutherland and Sean Sutherland, Sister Jaylyn Invison and husband Jeff.
