Derrick Lee one of the most talented and humble people I’ve ever met. Whenever we encountered each other he always had a smile on his face. Gospel music will never be the same. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Derrick Lee. SIP King. Love Sheba

Jerry and Val Griffis met Derrick at a Bobby Jones event. He was very nice, professional and very quiet but full of wisdom, we were babies in the industry with I AM Magaine and I AM Media, Derrick treated us as if he knew us for many years. God bless you sir.

SO many memories and not enough space to share them all. Derrick and I contributed to so many musical projects. It was always such a joy to share the musical platforms with him. I will miss our phone calls. They were business and hilariously entertaining. Rest In Love My Dear friend.
Ralph and Ceesha,

Thanks for taking the role as my Big Brother in the absence of my brother Johnnie since 1997 his death but as my friend since you came to Nashville way back when..thank you for finding my voice as we stomped at Mount Pisgah on Sunday morning..as I received this message...I first began to cry because this here promotes FINAL, so just a quick as tears went down my face they were wiped away with the thoughts and words that there is No Final with you as you have proven that by touching many lives..mine included..So you Mr.Derrick Lee will live on through our memories of you.."No Final" with you dude..I love you.

Lee Family,
It has been my privilege to know and work with Derrick over these years, especially with the Black Mass Choir and Jubilee Singers while we were at Fisk. I learned so much from him as a fellow tenor in the Singers and especially working with him as a choir director of the Black Mass to create the unique sound of the choir. Though I was a southerner, I was drawn to the East Coast musical strains of The Institutional Choir, Benny Cummings and others such as he was and helped me to perfect my abilities to bring out the best in any choir that I stood before. He was always encouraging, but demanding in his quest for excellence. Thank you, Derrick for your illumination of gospel music to the world. Heaven's Grand Steinway awaits the artistry of your music ministry!
Farewell, my brother, see you on the other side.
