He is survived by his father, Kim Hebert, and mother Susan Hebert, a brother Coty Dore, and niece Rose Dore.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Louis, and Gussie Broussard Landry.

Derek's love of music began at the early age of 10 years old, when he learned to play Cajun accordion, guitar, and bass guitar, all self taught with a natural talent for music.  He was fortunate enough to play with numerous local bands and even won multiple accordion contests at different area festivals.

Beyond his musical talents he was a craftsman who enjoyed woodworking and building his own Cajun accordions.

Derek was a kind, quiet and gentle soul; always ready to lend you a helping hand. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
