Derbin, 23, was killed in an ambush on Saturday night.
Euclid Police Chief Scott Meyer said Derbin has served Euclid residents since July of 2023 with "dedication, honor and professionalism. His kind heart and enormous smile were infectious. He will be missed by all who know him."
Derbin is a veteran who served in the Army Reserves and served a tour of duty in Kuwait. After the military, he graduated from the Kent Police Academy. He was set to marry his high school sweetheart this summer. His father is a Euclid police officer.
Derbin was remembered yesterday by law enforcement officials.
