Jackie Johnsrud left a message on August 6, 2020: The Life Tribute and Service was fitting the wonderful person we all knew. I have worked with Derrel for most all of his career at Johnsrud. He started in February and I started in May of the same year. I always enjoyed our conversations about everything from his days hauling milk, to being a marine, to life on the road, updates on his truck , but in the end, we always circled back to his family and his favorite destination- Lubbock, Texas. I could always hear the love in his voice for all of you. When I hear you talk about him at the service, it's the same man I knew. Derrel was the same kind, dedicated and loyal person in the workplace. Always concerned about doing a great job and he always did...you could always rely on him to get the job done and done well. His truck was immaculate! It always looked perfect and even after driving it for 5 years, it would still have that "new truck" smell. He was always dressed so professional and set such a great example. A true professional. One Customer he frequented sent us the link to his obituary and her exact words were, "he was an awesome guy." My family and I will miss him very much and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Jackie Johnsrud and the Johnsrud Family
