Doubling Down with the Derricos patriarch, Deon Derrico, 52, is talking about an extraordinary lady who helped to change his life. TLC fans love him because of his dedication to his 14 kids. Additionally, he respects his wife, Karen, and sticks like glue to his mom Marian a.k.a ‘GG.’ How does a boy grow up so kind and devoted? Clearly, someone very special influenced him as a younger man.

Deon Derrico Seems Like A Very Responsible Person

The dad of multiple multiples isn’t without some controversy, but that’s normal for reality TV stars.  Recently, TLC viewers saw that he and his mom, GG were meeting with someone named Amani. Fans heard that a brother, Chris, passed away and that Amani might be his son. In fact, some people believed that Chris never raised a son with that name. Social media exchanges slammed Karen’s husband for a bit, but his popularity doesn’t seem to have been dented by that, or by an alleged relative who called him out.

Doubling Down with the Derricos fans continue to enjoy watching Deon Derrico and all the kids on their screens. However, his mom, GG isn’t well. On social media, some people formed a prayer chain. She has cancer, and it makes life very challenging for her. Obviously, hope gets pinned on almost anything that might make it go away. However, the old lady broke down and cried when her oncologist wanted her treated with more chemo. Naturally, her son was there for his mom. Is that the special person who turned his life around?

The Special Lady That Put Deon Derrico On The Straight And Narrow

If you wonder just who that special lady was that helped to turn a young man’s life around, you’d be correct by guessing that it was, indeed, GG. It’s a huge responsibility becoming a parent but she seems to have done just fine. Taking to Instagram, her son said, “I honestly get my fight from my mother, and she taught me to believe in God, and all will work out.” He added, “It has!!”

Deon Derrico seems very grateful that GG taught him “morals, respect,” and “love.” In fact, he believes that it’s all because of his mom that everything works out for his large “family” of kids and for his wife “Karen.” Well, he had something to do with it as well, because he “listened to her great advice.” Life could have been very different for Deon, Karen, and even GG if he’d gone his own way and defiantly ignored his mom,

Perpetuating The Cycle

Fans who watch the TLC show, know that Karen and Deon Derrico pass on GG’s morals to their own children. Like their dad, they learn about respect, and there’s no question when it comes to all getting plenty of love. Because of their parents, they also probably come to believe that with faith, everything will turn out to be just fine.

Are you surprised that it was Deon’s mother GG who was the special lady that turned his life around? Let us know in the comments below. Remember to come back to TV Shows Ace for more news about the Doubling Down With the Derricos stars.
