DEREK WAYNE McCLAIN

Derek Wayne McClain of Smithville, Missouri passed away on Thursday, February 8, 2018. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

Derek will be fondly remembered for his caring heart, sense of humor, contagious smile and laugh, crazy stunts, pranks, goofiness and his hoarding. He was always tinkering with mechanical projects, especially his 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass from Grandma Bonnie. He enjoyed being outdoors with friends, riding motorcycles, riding the four wheeler with his son, fishing and hunting. He especially loved spending time with his wife and son, playing and sharing his cereal and dinosaur egg oatmeal with them.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother Bonnie Watts.

Derek is survived by his wife Taylor, their son Corey, his parents Michael and Laura, his two sisters Ashley McClain and Kristi Culbertson (Doug), nieces Evelyn and Eleanor Culbertson, nephew Henry Culbertson, maternal grandfather Leonard Fenimore (Judy), maternal grandmother Meridith Gann (James), paternal grandmother Marcella McClain, uncles, aunts and a host of extended family and friends.

Donations to the family to help with funeral expenses and for his son's future will be greatly appreciated. A GoFundMe Website has been established for this:
