Derek was born
February 23, 1968 in Friendship WI to Ronald Robert �Bob� &
Doneta (Renner) Giessel. He attended Adams �
Friendship High School and was a member of the class of
1986. Derek married Barbara Allen on October 21, 1994
in Adams, WI. This marriage was blessed with two
children. Derek was a self-taught mechanic fixing many
family and friends cars over the years.
Derek took great pride in being a father
to Dylan and Alivia, the two most important people in his
life. He shared his mechanical knowledge & excitement
for all things that go with his son, Dylan and his daughter
Alivia.
Derek had a passion for being behind the
wheel as much as under the hood. He started with two
wheelers as an avid BMX bike racer and from the age of 16
drove for Team Twisted Metal at demolition derbies in car
#�4U2C�. With the motto of �Drive it like you stole
it� he would have loved to race stock car or even NASCAR.
Dale Earnhardt was an idol and Derek was there to witness
his final Winston Cup race in Florida.
Derek will be deeply missed by his large
extended family and friends. Family gatherings won�t
be the same without his wonderful grin and humorous
one-liners.
Derek was preceded in death by grandparents,
Art and Norma Renner; grandparent, Madeline Werner;
grandparents, Clyde and Millie Giessel; uncle, Clyde Giessel
Jr.; cousins: Damon Renner and Dustin Renner.
