Devon and I spent our teens hanging out, playing games online. I remember him as the kind and caring soul everyone would want to be. He was honest and funny and taken from us too soon. Sending much love to the family.

To the family of Devon, just know that he touched lives of people everywhere around the U.S. He had thousands of Snapchat followers and I talked to him literally every night. We talked about our day, we talked about girls, and we talked about rap. He helped me become who I am today, I was a very depressed person and he helped me find happiness in life. He was a great man. Rest in Peace, Savy.

Rodney,
My heartfelt prayers are with you.
I went in FDS sub often and didn't even know that was Devon, but would only let him make my sandwich. He was a very pleasant and respectful young man, and he made the best sandwiches too. After I found out that was Devon, I remembered that beautiful smile and spending great times too. I just wish I had the opportunity to tell him I knew him since he was a toddler. I pray that God will continually wrap His Loving arms around you, and comfort you through your sorrow. I tried reaching out to you, but do not have your number. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My Condolences to the whole Green Family. I have known and worked with Rodney for the better part of 16yrs and was able to meet Devon and enjoy watching that relationship he had with his Father.
