Derrick Cowart

Derrick Cowart was a young man rooted in Monroe, Louisiana. At 20 years old, Derrick’s life — like so many young lives — held relationships, routines, and the quiet significance of everyday presence among family and friends in his hometown.

Public records and local reporting place Derrick in a residence on Magnolia Street in Monroe in November 2021. Neighbors and people who knew him would have recognized him as part of that neighborhood community. While the public record about Derrick’s life is limited in available sources, the facts that are known make clear he was a person with family ties and a circle of acquaintances for whom his sudden loss created grief.

What remains central is that Derrick was a real person with people who cared for him. He was twenty — an age of beginnings, plans, and relationships — and that unrealized future is part of the sorrow his passing brought. In communities like Monroe, a young person’s presence is felt across family gatherings, streets, workplaces, and schools; remembering Derrick means honoring those everyday ways he mattered to others.

Because formal, family-published obituary material matching the November 13, 2021 date was not accessible through the usual funeral-home or newspaper archives, this remembrance focuses on the human facts verified in reliable local reporting: Derrick lived in Monroe and died on November 13, 2021. This notice is offered with respect and restraint so his life — not the circumstances of his death — remains the focus. Those who loved Derrick may choose to add memories, photographs, and personal tributes to preserve the particular warmth of who he was for family and friends.

To those who remember him, Derrick’s name will carry the weight of personal stories known to those who shared time with him. May this brief remembrance stand as a modest acknowledgment that his life mattered, and may family and close friends find comfort in the memories they hold.
