Derrick Todd Wilson

Derrick Todd Wilson, Newport, KY passed away on April 21, 2026, four days after his 67th birthday. Early Life & Family Derrick was born on April 17, 1959, in Cincinnati, OH to Bonnie and Ermon Hyle (Todd) Wilson. Most of his childhood and teenage years were spent in New Castle, IN. Derrick was an entrepreneur from an early age, working a newspaper route. He graduated from Chrysler Memorial High School, home of the largest high school fieldhouse, where he was a member of the wrestling team.

Derrick originally started his college career at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with his first solo flight on November 18, 1977. He then spent time at Southern Ohio College and Campbellsville College before starting a lifelong career in business development.

In his early twenties, Derrick was an active member of his church, and that is where he met and introduced his mother to Lacy Bennett, who later became his step-father. Church is also where he met Annie Price. The two were married in 1984 and had two children, Mechelle and Andrew.

Derrick found his passion and skill in sales, beginning by selling typewriters and books, then eventually spending many years as a sales leader for large accounting and consulting firms, including PwC, Grant Thornton and others. He was recognized multiple times for his leadership and creativity. Derrick’s children and younger brother remember the times he taught them the importance of dressing for success, eye contact and a firm handshake.

One key to Derrick’s success was that he was a lifelong learner – he could always be found researching a new topic and applying it to his life and career. Additionally, Derrick never believed that anybody was above or below him in status; he related to people in all walks of life.

While Derrick traveled substantially for work, he still made time to be a present, fun dad for his children when they were young. Derrick was known for bringing the entertainment to family gatherings, whether it was organizing a game or activity, or being the jokester in the room. He especially enjoyed boating and being on or near the water. Other hobbies included stamp and coin collecting, building and shooting off model rockets, grilling and listening to classic rock. He had a soft spot in his heart for pets, owning multiple dogs, cats and fish throughout his years.

Derrick is survived by his two children, Mechelle Hope Meadows (Chad) and Andrew Derrick Wilson (Nicki), his three grandchildren, Bennett Michael Meadows, Aubrey Jill Meadows, and Lewin James Wilson, his mother, Bonnie Lou Bennett, step-father Willie Lacy Bennett and brother Steven Douglas Wilson. Derrick was preceded in death by his brother James Kevin Wilson, and his father Ermon Hyle (Todd) Wilson.

Those who knew Derrick well know that he was satisfied with his life’s accomplishments. He worked his entire life to build a better future for the next generations – his children and grandchildren. A quote he often said was, “On average we speak 20,000 words a day. Only 3 count: I Love You.”

He had only one piece of unfinished business, and that was to be reunited with his brother Kevin, who died at the age of 16 when Derrick was 18.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 12:00 to 3:00pm at Camargo Community Center 4406 Camargo Rd, Camargo, KY 40353.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Charlie’s 3/4 House in Cincinnati, OH in Derrick Wilson’s honor.

Zahira Chacon Perez

Zahira Chacon Perez, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home in Florence, Kentucky on March 4, 2026. Born on March 11, 1977, in Puerto Rico, Zahira carried the warmth of her homeland with her throughout her life. She was known for her infectious happiness and her unwavering ability to care for others, traits that touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

A cherished mother, Zahira is survived by her two children, Tiara and Kendall Gonzalez, who were her pride and joy. Her legacy also lives on through her beloved grandchildren: Jabniel, Anderson, Bayron, Keili, Leila, Darla, Xander, and Mateo, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment. Zahira was a devoted daughter to her mother, Raquel Perez, and a supportive sister to Mairim and Ramon, finding strength and connection within her family unit.

Zahira shared meaningful moments with her cousins, Annie and Carlos, who were part of her cherished circle of family and friends. The bonds she formed were a testament to her nurturing spirit, as she always prioritized the well-being of those around her.

A profound source of inspiration for Zahira was found in her faith. She held dear the words of Psalm 91, finding solace and strength in its verses. The message of refuge and trust encapsulated her outlook on life, and she sought to impart that same comfort to others. It was this vibrant faith, coupled with her joyful demeanor, that made her presence a beacon of hope and love for many.

Zahira's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her joyful spirit and caring heart will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege to know her. She will be deeply missed, yet her memory will continue to inspire kindness and compassion in our lives.

Bible verse, Psalm 91 was important to her.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10 no harm will overtake you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him my salvation.”

Services will be Sunday March 25 beginning at 3 PM at Principe de Paz 13 Girard St. Florence, KY 41042

Thomas Hamilton

Thomas A. Hamilton, age 67, of Boone County, Kentucky, passed away on March 1, 2026. He was born

on November 14, 1958.

Thomas, lovingly known as Tom, was preceded in death by his parents, Adrain and Nola Hamilton.

Tom proudly served his country as an Army Medic, enlisting in 1976. His service was a source of quiet

pride and shaped much of the man he was—steady, caring, and always ready to help others.

Tom had a deep love for life and those around him. He adored his fur babies, enjoyed telling stories from

his past, and found happiness in fishing, hunting, grilling out, watching old war and western movies, and

lighting off fireworks. There was truly never a dull moment when Tom was around—he had a way of filling

any space with laughter, stories, and unforgettable memories.

He leaves behind his loving fiancée of 22 years, Bonnie Laird, whom he loved dearly. He is also survived

by his stepchildren: Crystal Laird (Terry Gibson), Robert Lee Laird, and Darin (Tina) Gordon. Tom

was a devoted and playful grandfather to Summer (Jon) De Metsenare, Branden Gordon, Sierra Laird

(Travis Gibson), Aspen Ellsworth, and Navona Laird. He cherished time spent playing board games

with them, using his metal detector to hunt for hidden treasures, and baking together—and he had special

nicknames for each one, a small reflection of his big heart.

Services are being provided by Alliance Funeral Home and Cremation Center. A private Celebration of Life will be held by the

family.

Tom will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his stories, laughter, and love will live on in

the hearts of his family forever.

Aislynne Giovanna Coffaro

Aislynne Giovanna Coffaro, a cherished soul whose life was a testament to the power of joy and kindness, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026, in her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. Born on July 21, 2003, in the same vibrant city, Aislynne's journey was one marked by an unwavering spirit and an ability to touch the hearts of all who knew her.

Despite the challenges that came with her disabilities, Aislynne graduated from Trafalgar High School in Cape Coral, Florida, where she was celebrated by her peers and teachers alike. Her presence at school was a constant source of happiness, and she was lovingly voted the sweetest girl in her class, a title that perfectly captured her gentle nature.

Aislynne's days were filled with the things she loved most. She held a deep affection for the world of movies, with a particular fondness for animations and Disney cartoons. Characters from The Simpsons and various Disney princesses were among her favorites, bringing her endless joy and laughter. Aislynne's love for dancing was infectious, and she could often be found swaying to the music with a beaming smile that could light up any room.

Her adventures with her mother were cherished moments, as they explored new places and created memories that will be held dear forever. Even though Aislynne was nonverbal, her ability to communicate happiness and love was profound. She had a magical way of connecting with others, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Aislynne will be forever cherished as a bundle of joy and light.
