To the Alpha Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Devon made Nature Quest and Spirit of Bethlehem an extremely entertaining time with his constant jokes and sarcasm. He made everyone around him smile and I enjoyed our close friendship over those couple years. It was a shame that our friendship faded over the years, but it was always great seeing the family at Musikfest or Christkindlmarkt. My parents and I send our deepest condolences to your family in this difficult time.

Devon was a funny and outgoing guy at FHS. I remember a joke he was going to do during a gym class we had together. I even remember him being part of the blackout crew that would cheer for the football team he was an awesome member of that group. Those moments I will remember forever. I only wish that I hadn't lost touch with him. To all the members of the Alpha family I am sorry for your loss. Devon and all of you will be in my prayers.

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.
