FLORIDA, Mass. — Derrick John Wissman, 60 of Florida, MA passed away on Friday, July 26, 2024 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Greenfield, MA on March 25, 1964. The son of Russell & Marjorie (Turner) Wissman.
Derrick graduated from the Greenfield School System. He then went on to attend Keene State College, graduating with a degree in safety and environmental science. He was employed as a Project Manager at Atlas Technical Consultants (ATC Associates Inc.) of West Springfield, MA.
Derrick was an avid snowmobiler, and a devoted member of the Florida Mountaineers Snowmobile Club. He participated in the coordination of the Fat Bastard Snowmobile and Poker Run over the last 20 years. Derrick enjoyed golf and helped with the organization of the annual Pig n Putt at Louie’s Links. He golfed in the Monday night men’s league at the Stanford Valley Golf Course. Derrick had a passion for music. He frequently quizzed his family and friends on the ins and outs of every song on his playlist. He loved spending time with his Granddaughter Ayla, as she always put a smile on his face. He was a Washington Redskins fan, much to the heckling of his family and friends. Every Sunday consisted of breakfast in his garage, ready to watch football, Star Trek, golf at Louie’s Links, or go on a snowmobile ride.
