This is truly heart breaking. Ive had Animated on the brain the past few days only to have it topped off with this unfortunate news.

May his family and loved ones find peace.

 

[MrBlud]

******* awful.

A true fan of Transformers and Animated was truly a second renaissance. We’ve yet to match its design and world building.

A tragedy. He was still so young

 

[Kaon]

This just goes to show that you never know how long you have.

May he rest in peace.

I saw a video that he passed. Dang. I enjoyed Animated a ton. I didn't finish his run on Ben 10 but I saw that it got epic (and there was a Bucky O'Hare homage, I think).

 

[Kalidor]

Sad news. His last tweet was on Dec 11. It's tragic how suddenly anyone can be lost at any time.

 

[CheeseSomersault]

heartbreaking. he was an inspiration

 

[Cyoti]

This is terrible. He was only 49.

RIP

Worse still, this news comes today on the 14th anniversary of "Transform and Roll Out".

Transformers would not be the same without his work on Animated, and you could always tell when he had designed on a show. Scooby Doo Mystery Inc looked fantastic. So sad to lose him.

 

[The Phazer]

Sorry to hear that.

 

[Haywire]

Sad news. Condolences to his family. His work on Transformers and more will be remembered for many years to come.

 

[The Predaking]

R.I.P. Good sir! Your work shall shine on for many years to come!

 

[tec]

Aw he was great I loved his work
He will be missed

 

[Echowarrior]

We lost him too soon. Far too soon.

 

[Powered Convoy]

A great talent gone far too soon. Rest in peace.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Sad, shocking news. I remember getting to meet him -- or at least ask him a question-- at TFCon years ago.

 

[Donocropolis]

Very sad news, indeed.

My son isn't much into Transformers (more of a Hot Wheels/Matchbox kid), but we recently got a Roku and now have access to any and all Transformers series, so he's been watching Animated with me and enjoying it as the humor is right up his alley.

Derrick had a great and unique style that he brought to the brand, and he'll definitely be missed.

His touch for fun and wacky characters were felt across a lot of great shows in the last few decades. It’s sad to see him go.
