Derrick Shane Cothern, 46, of Fayetteville, TN, originally from Dickson, TN, passed away unexpectedly, leaving a deep void in the hearts of his family and community. Known for his talent in fixing almost anything, from motors to home improvement projects, Derrick was always ready to lend a hand to those in need. His kind nature and ever-present smile made him a beloved figure in his community.
Derrick dedicated years of his life volunteering with the Dickson County Rescue Squad, where he made countless friends and left a lasting impact. His unexpected passing has left his family, including his wife of nearly 21 years and their three daughters, in a difficult position as they navigate both the emotional and financial challenges that come with such a profound loss.
A fundraiser organized by Chris McNeil has been set up to help support the family during this time, aiming to raise $10,000 to cover funeral expenses and alleviate some of the financial stress. At the time of writing, $355 has been raised through five donations, with contributions from Melody Choate, Amy Miller, Sara Tyhuis, and two anonymous donors. Every donation brings the family closer to easing the burden of this loss, and the community is encouraged to continue showing their support.
Details about Derrick’s final arrangements will be shared with the public once they are available. In the meantime, the family thanks everyone for their prayers and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Cothern family. May Derrick’s soul rest in peace, and may his family find strength in the love and support of those around them.
