I used to live across the street from Devin. I remember sitting on my porch many summer evenings listening to music, reading (or writing), and watching him skateboard up and down Druck Valley. We talked a fair bit those days, but unfortunately lost touch when I moved away. We talked some when I came back late in high school, but never really had the opportunity to re-connect. I'm glad to see he did some wonderful things with his life, and he will be sorely missed.

Dear Kathy and Ronnie, Mike, Becky, Big Mike and Lyn, Dustin and Mandy,
The loss of a child, no matter what age, must be the hardest thing to endure in a lifetime. You cherished him since before he was even born, and guided him into the fine young man that he became. And the light that he shone on all of you is a light that will never go out. Your memories of your son will take you thru, some will make you laugh on a cloudy day, some will make you cry on a sunny day, but no matter what he will always be your shining light. Please know that we will be there for all of you, on your good days and your not so good days. Take a moment each day to reflect on that shining light that was your beautiful son, brother, friend, hero. Raise a glass and say "hello friend."

Kathy, Ron + Families,

I will always remember Devin for his great sense of humor and his passion for cooking. It was a pleasure watching Devin master his skills in the kitchen both in cooking and in management. It goes without saying that he always had a sense of loyalty and pride in his work. From extern to Executive Chef of our restaurants, Devin led our kitchens with true professionalism. As I lose a friend, the Hampton Roads community loses a great culinary talent. In closing, I wish the family my deepest sympathy during this tragic time. Vincent Ranhorn

Ronnie and Kathy;
I know it's been forever since I've seen you, going on at least two years coming up here shortly. I truly hope you guys are ok and if I can do anything, let me know. It's sad, and I'm sorry to see the two of you lose someone. If I can do anything, I'm sure you can get ahold of me through Aunt Linda and Uncle Jim

Dear Kathy and Ronnie,
We all feel the traumatic loss for you and want to help to love, honor and value Devin's life. Memories are the precious gifts of the heart, these memories and whispers create a sense of inner peace and closeness of your beloved child. The grief is born out of unconditional love for your child and rejoice in that love which will never end. Embracing life again is not a sign that you have stopped missing him, but an example of a love that is eternal. As your friends we will be with you. With all our Love
Cindy and Scott Emswiler
