Saucier, Derike Duane

Saucier, Derike Duane age 54, entered into rest on Saturday, January 17, 2026. Loving husband of Melanie A. Saucier (nee Mathis) for over 16 years; cherished father of  Zakkary Saucier and Alexander Hoffman; son of the late Jerry and Shirley Saucier and brother of the late Darrel Saucier; our dear son-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend to many.

Derike was a devoted husband, father and member of Solid Rock Church. Derike received a BS of Arts from University of Southern Mississippi and an Associates of Science, Radiologic Technology from Delgado Community College.  His work as a radiologic technologist was more than a job- it was a passion.

Derike’s favorite hobby was car detailing and he took great pride in his work.  He always made sure everyone in his family drove a clean car.  He also greatly enjoyed serving his church in the media department and being part of the Hospital Visitation Ministry.

Derike loved to tell dad jokes and his friendly nature led him to strike up conversations with everyone he met. His family, friends and co workers will miss his quick wit and the lending ear he was always willing to provide. He is gone but…….. never forgotten.
