Life Reflections

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live.   James 4:14-15a

Derrick DeWayne Burrows, Jr. (affectionately known as Wayne), was born on January 10, 1982, to the late Derrick and Marilyn L. Burrows.  At the age of six, he moved to Kingstree, South Carolina and was reared in a loving home by his devoted grandmother, the late Mrs. Sarah Pressley Burrows and his father. On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, God reached his loving arms towards earth, embraced Wayne and welcomed him home.

Derrick received his education in Williamsburg County School District at Kingstree Senior High School.  He accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church. Wayne was an avid gamer and would only allow his siblings and cousins to participate when he knew he would be the winner. He also enjoyed drawing fictitious characters.

Loved ones left to cherish his memories are: two sisters, Shannon Burrows of Kingstree, SC and Donte (Anthony) Gillard of Raleigh, NC; three nieces, Whitley Nesmith of Nesmith, SC, Aniyah Burrows of Kingstree, SC and Royalty Gillard of Raleigh, NC; two nephews, Juelz Gillard of Raleigh, NC and Jordan Burrows of Kingstree, SC; aunts, Marva Cannion and Lisha B.
