This is a new page that I have created in memory of Mr. Derrick Thomas who sadly passed away on February 8, 2000 after being paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident on January 26th.. Derrick Thomas was an amazing player and even a more amazing person. He went out of his way to help people in need everywhere. Over the next few weeks and months I hope to make this a wonderful page, that shows how great of a person and player Derrick Thomas was.
Letter From Derrick of Thanks
Dear Friends,
I wish that there were enough words in the human language to express my sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks for all of the well wishes, cards, letters, words of encouragement and prayers that I have received. I would also like to thank everyone who have made donations to my Third and Long Foundation, as well as anyone who have made donations on my behalf for Spinal Cord Injury Research.
I wish that I could answer each and every one of you individually, but that would be near impossible.
I would like everyone to know that I am going to be just fine. Please continue to keep me in your prayers, because as an old friend of mine told me "When prayers go up Blessings are sure to come down."
Sincerely,
Derrick Thomas

When we think of important things, Truly important things,
We forget that for us Life's alarm clock rings.
We forget that each moment sings, Each breath is priceless,
Each smell, each sight is unique Each friend a true sign we seek.
That we are here for a reason, Not to argue another season
But to give pleasure in God's sight To bear true compassion, not merely fight.
For we soar to the fighter pilot's altitude, Not with wrath but with gratitude.
Our wings unfold with the chance to smile To laugh for awhile, to live with style.
To stretch our leg, to pump our powerful arm To leap into life and do good
Where others might do harm To reach out because we must, we should.
To inspire with the relentless energy That would light a thousand Arrowhead fires
To tear down life's invisible walls, Even more than quarterbacks or footballs
To sack a child's opportunity barrier Even more than a ball carrier
And give the ultimate gift A young spirit given lift.
And stand tall among men Because what we left
Was not so much on the field But in young people's hearts.
Little boys and girls, bereft Of family and hope,
Raised up and taught to cope With their only sure treasure.
A spirit lit up With a mind on fire,
A soul unrelenting In curiosity, belief and desire.
In our own Hall of Fame Our wall against shame
Derrick: You have won life's only real game With your burning, unquenchable, unmatchable flame.
And you will rise up, You will take off,
You will soar again With new dreams
And we will fly with you, Wherever you go.
-Nick Lowery (former Chiefs kicker)
