As I was looking for more info on Derrick, I saw an obituary for the same name in Flint, MI. We didn't have Derrick's age on the thread title, and I wondered if it was him. Then I found this MSM article, which explains it:

Flint man disappeared day before 63rd birthday, hours after his son died

FLINT (WJRT) (6/13/2019) - Derrick Towns was last seen at his home here on West Dewey Street in Flint, on Wednesday morning, June 5th.

The next day, his son Derrick Terrell Towns, Jr, who goes by Terrell, passed away from kidney failure.

"So, we're trying to get ahold of him, see where he is. His funeral is tomorrow, so we're really worried about him, this is unlike him," said Adrian Hunter.

He's Terrell's cousin, Derrick Towns' nephew.

He explained a group of them showed up to Towns' home Thursday not just to tell him that his son died; but, it was also the day of his 63rd birthday.

"We went in the house, you know, lights were on, TVs were on, his glasses were still in there; so, you know, it's not like he was leaving to go out of town or planned on being gone for a long period of time," Hunter explained. . .

If you go to the link, you can see a news video, which shows Derrick's residence. The exterior of the house and the yard are beautifully maintained. Then his nephew says that the lights were on, TVs were on, and his glasses were still in there. I think the nephew is correct in stating that it doesn't appear that Derrick intended to leave.
