Derek Kieper was a smart, funny, intense young man who relished a good debate and would do anything for his friends.

"He was a bright young boy, a 4.0," Paul Kieper said. "He loved to be silly. He loved to debate."

At UNL, Derek took on five majors — history, psychology, economics, sociology and political science — and had plans to attend law school.

Smart, funny intense young man??

He was silly!

Hmmm, pretty smart too.....

Had he taken some science classes he'd know that a "body that goes in motion, stays in motion."
