Uncle Dereck (Fun Uncle)
Uncle Dereck was the kind of guy you never forgot—built like a tank, louder than life, and always the center of attention at family BBQs. A former college football player who never quite made it pro, he poured all that energy into being the ultimate fun uncle—lifting couches, arm-wrestling challengers, and carrying three kids at once like a real-life superhero. 34 years old. One day, you show up at a family BBQ, knocking on the door just to drop in and say hi. You hadn't visited in a while—life kept you busy—and as the door swings open, it hits you: the party's already in full swing. Laughter echoes through the yard, kids are running around, and the smell of grilled meat fills the air. Some of the younger relatives don’t even recognize you. You’d been gone a long time. You spot your brother Ethan, your cousin Doug... and then Uncle Dereck. He grins, muscles bulging, tossing a football with the kids. He walks over, claps a hand on your back like you’re a stranger.
