Oh my goodness...I did not know Devin, but heard of his last happy days on earth, through my son, Otis' friend, Andy. I'm reminded of a poem called, "Last Fragment": "And did you get what/you wanted from this life, even so?/ I did./And what did you want?/ To call myself beloved, to feel myself/beloved on the earth." -- Devin was so very clearly beloved. My heart goes out to you. What a beautiful spirit this boy is.

Beautiful, beautiful. beautiful Boy! Inside and outside, with his infectious smile, megawatt charm, his charisma. But there was something deeper and that was what made me see such a special young man. His mom Niki introduced me to his grandparents as, "She loves Devin and his music too." And I surely did. I know he loved Christ & I will see him again in Heaven. Love you, Lil Man!!!

Niki and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember meeting you and the kids in downtown SLC for brunch a few years ago. Devin was a cool kid who was a talented musician as well.

Devin, you left too soon. I can remember when you were in Tulare playing your guitar and singing. What a fun time that was. To my nephew Sean, I know your heart is heavy and hurting, but God knows how much you loved Devin. Yes, we wish we could have been around him more and who knows, he may have wished the same thing. One thing we do know is that God has the final word and he saw your heart and your efforts in trying to be a father to your son. We now have memories of Devin and from what I hear, he was a GREAT kid. Let that comfort your heart. God bless the whole family! Aunt Danetta (Tulare, CA)
