Chris and Deon’s mother, Marian, also sobbed about losing her son. In April 2020, Marian wrote: “I was lying in bed thinking about my First Son, Christopher Turner. I remember his whole life being very scared about the possibility of him being harmed or hurt in some way. But never really thinking or believing that he could actually be taken away from me…wow, how naive I was. I have been so numb since he left, the numbness is slowly fading and the pain I feel is unreal. The loss that engulfed my body was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I wanted to scream but my throat was choked and wouldn’t let me.”

Two years later, in 2022, Marian talked about her son again: “2 years ago today, my first child left this world to return to his heavenly home. I thank God for accepting him into the kingdom of heaven and providing his own mansion. I thank God for giving us the peace to get to this point without you. Rest in peace on my Son until we meet again. We still miss you Chris and will always love you forever. Your mother and younger brother.”

Wife of Chris Derrico

At the time of his death, Chris Derrico was single, or at least he claimed to be single on Facebook. Has he ever been married? There is no evidence of it ever happening.

Chris Derrico’s son

According to a secretly recorded video on TLC’s Twitter page, Deon Derrico received a voicemail from someone named Amani, who claimed to be the child of his late brother Christopher. In the video, Deon admitted to missing a call with his wife Karen Derrico and expressed surprise upon hearing Amani’s voicemail and his statements.

Deon’s wife, Karen, tries to comfort him as he breaks down at the prospect of a family member he has never met. In Ep. 3, We Didn’t Start the Fire, viewers hear: “My name is Amani,” Amani says in the voicemail. “Your brother Chris could be my dad.”

“I don’t know what to think – there’s so much to take in,” Deon tells the camera. “Christopher is my older brother and I really admired him growing up.” “Chris’s passing came as a complete surprise to us,” he continued. Deon said he has “mixed feelings” over the possibility that his late brother may have had a son he never knew about.

Chris, who passed away suddenly on January 27, 2020, probably had no idea Amani had a son and had never met him. Deon later verified Amani as Derrico and Chris’s son, however, viewers would not know the outcome until the following show.

“Next to my beautiful mom GG and handsome nephew Amani with a photo of his dad, my brother Chris, on the wall behind us,” Deon captioned the photo from December 2022. However, the post has since been deleted.

Amani may be a family member of GG and Deon, but GG admitted that they required a DNA test to prove it first. GG asked her potential grandchild to undergo a DNA test to ensure that he was Chris’s child during their webcam chat with Amani during the season. Amani admitted that she “failed” her late child, but GG insisted that becoming Derrico could change her life for the better.

After her lung cancer returned at the end of Season 3, viewers watched GG undergo chemotherapy treatments throughout the season. In Part 4, GG claims that discovering that she may have another grandchild that she was unaware of has given her life a new, worthwhile “purpose.”

Deon worries that GG will be “devastated” if Amani is not their biological relative because of their newfound happiness. Luckily, the family learned the truth, which will likely affect upcoming episodes of The Derricos.

One of Deon’s most recent works is about Amani’s father, Chris. He wrote about his brother: “Double with #TheDERRICOs thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes on the passing of my brother, Mr. Christopher Shonnald Turner, gone but never now forgotten.”
