Derrick Oldman was born to Don Oldman and the late Letticia Sitting Eagle. Derrick Oldman is the great great great great grandson of Chief Black Coal, where he was given the Arapaho name tebii3e3ei, which brought him pride and humility.
Derrick attended his school years at St. Stephens, Wy. Derrick’s love of working with his hands led him to joining Kicking Horse Job Corps Center in Ronan, Mt Where he received his certification in carpentry and earned his GED.
Kicking Horse Job Crops is also where he met and fell in love with Misty White Wolf, for 16 years they never left each other’s side, they had their son Sumner in 2008 and their daughter Machelle in 2010, and boy was he a happy and proud father!
Derrick was a skilled carpenter by trade as well as a plumber. He also worked at the Wind River Casino as security and worked with his dad.
When he was younger he was a grass dancer and traveled around to many powwows and he sure loved to sing hand drum. In his younger years you could expect to see him on the hang game trail. Another favorite of his was fishing, he never missed a summer going up to the Mountains and casting that line and having a good ole burger on an open flame. "Theres no feeling like it" he would say. He worked various jobs and he took pride his his work. Derrick always loved family get togethers. He could always be found laughing and teasing in his own humorous way. He had a special bond with all those he came across. If you ever had a memory with him, im sure you can look back and see his smile or hear his laugh. Derrick Oldman will be missed by all! Journey well cowboy!!
