Derrick Cannon, 73, of St. Albans, passed away on May 22, 2022, at CAMC- Memorial Hospital. He was born in Urbana, Ill., to the late Walton Wayne and Selma Winona Halbrook Cannon.

He worked for the State of West Virginia in their IT Department. Technology remained a passion throughout his life. He was also a very talented and passionate woodworker and enjoyed puttering around his machine shop. He had a very strong faith and focused on his personal relationship between himself and God.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his ex-wife, Ellen Cannon; and an infant sibling. Derrick is survived by his daughter, Angela Cannon (Joey Rager), of South Charleston; and brothers, Wayne and Orlan Cannon, along with their respective families.
