Derek Barkley
Description
When we are first introduced to Derek, he is already engaged to Donna, and they are about to be married. Derek was a friend Donna made when she was away at college in California, though it isn't stated if they met at college, or even attended the same college. He was a worship major, and had wanted to become the worship leader at his new father in law's church, but his musical style didn't mesh well with the congregation. Thankfully a local businessman liked his music and wanted to bring him on as a business partner for his coffee shop. His last name sounds almost exactly like Donna's, but is spelled differently; a strange quirk of he and Donna's relationship humorously commented on by Jimmy and Connie Kendall.
