Devon was a great guy. He was regarded by many of his close friends and others who had the honor of knowing him as a fun person to be around with a very unique personality. He brought about some of the most fondest memories of my highschool days, as well my most recent encounters of him enjoying the company of friends during his last few weeks. I will always remember some of the discussions we had together; he had a very interesting viewpoint on things and I will miss his mindset. My condolences go out to his friends and family. It was a pleasure knowing the guy.
