this life to be reunited with his mother, Kelly Greco-Pratt; father, Daniel Greco; little brother, Cory Greco; grandparents, Robert and Sally Kucko; uncle, Scott Kucko; and best friends, Nathan Schulte, Jesse Savona, and Daniel Madden.
This is a loss that has ripped through those he left behind.
Though Derek held strong to a tough exterior, he was a gentle and loving soul. Derek’s love for BMX was his primary passion in life that he always carried with him. He was a proud starting member of BMX group, Endicott Street Crew, and member of Team Major Air. Derek’s love for BMX and those he shared it with was a driving force that got him through many difficult years and losses. When Derek wasn’t riding his bike you could usually find him under the hood of a car, as he loved his career as a mechanic even owning his own shop D.N.Greco Automotive
Repair. Derek found comfort in music which was an essential piece of his life. He loved to share this with those close to him, frequently pointing out that their taste was not as good as his, but he would help them get it right. Nothing will be able to fill the hole that was left by the loss of Derek. He was a great son, grandson, brother, and friend.
