RIP Fr Derek 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹

I was so sad to hear of Derek's passing, he was one of nature's really lovely people. He taught me about humility, something Derek had in abundance. His passing is sad void in my life, I was very privileged to know him, he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear of Derek's passing such a gentleman always had a good laugh with him in poolbeg yacht club Ringsend rip Derek 🙏

I have such lovely memories of you Fr Derek when you called to our house when you were home from South Korea. There was always great excitement and a good laugh. You said my dad's Requiem Mass, which I was so happy about. May you rest in peace, you were an absolute joy to know. 🙏💗

Homeward Bound Derek.Rest in Natural Great Peace.

Rest in peace Fr Derek Harris.

Beautiful man full of energy and enthusiasm always encouraging others to follow their dreams. Fair winds and following seas.

Deepest sympathies to the Harris Family on the death of Fr. Derek.
Happy memories of shared sailing adventures with Betty and himself.
May he Rest in Peace.

Our Uncle D has past but the memory of him will stay with us always. He came and visited us in Australia to Baptise both of our sons. We loved his charm and charisma and we are blessed to have been able to spend many days sipping Manhattans with him. Rest in peace uncle D. Love always Yvonne,Tony,Liam and Ethan.

I remember Derek as a friendly, engaging priest and brother-in-law and over the years he became closer and closer to my family. Sailing holidays with Derek were wonderful whether it was on the Shannon, out in the bay or sailing to Kinsale with Betty, Joan and myself. Spending time with him in LA and seeing how his Korean parishioners loved him was a special experience for Joan and I. Today is a sad day for me. The bond between Joan and Derek was very special, Joan died 11 years ago today and now Derek.
Rest in peace Derek knowing that you were much loved by many, many people
