With a heavy heart, we at Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company mourn the passing of past Chief, Derrick Lloyd. He was a mentor to many, both in the Fire Company and beyond. He was taken way too soon. We will always remember Derrick. He is with HIS MAKER watching over us from above. Sympathy to Michelle and his sons who have endoured a lot over the past few years. May he forever rest in Peace.
As Derrick would say…”CANCER SUCKS” !
