The corrected clause is:

“before he would see Derek again”

As written in the phrase “before seeing Derek again” the gerund “seeing” is the direct object of the preposition before. This use in the sentence is odd and the meaning as noted by tomatox1 unclear.

The phrase "never imagining … " is a participial phrase. It applies as a modifier to Quincy. It’s correct usage.
