Dan, it is deep sorrow to learn of your family's sudden and tragic lost. You always talked about your son with a broad smile on your face and the joy you obtained from coaching him in his sports. No words can ever provide solace in this dark hour; but take comfort that God saw fit to bring Devin to a special place in his Kingdom. The days, weeks, months and years to come will never be the same, but take solace that you will always have the special bond and memories that you and your family created with Devin. May his soul Rest In Peace.

It is said that God places Angels here among us on earth to watch over us and when their job is done he calls them home, Devin was Angel that walked with man. He spread God's word and will in his life and actions. Rest in peace and continue to watch over us. We thank you and love you, now and forever.

I am so sorry for your loss I never got to meet Devin or any of you but I feel like I knew him through Fawn, George, Georgie & Nina and I know that they love you all so much. As hard as it is I'm sure his Grandma Diane will take good care of him in heaven. Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all and I have seen pictures of Devin and he truly did have a beautiful smile.

When I heard about this tragic story, I instantly was overcome with sadness. I didn't know Devin or his family but you don't have to know a family personally to feel their pain. Devin is with the Angels of Heaven now and is so happy. As an alumni parent of Factory Shoals as a community we must stick together. Devin and your family will stay in our prayers. God Bless you and stay strong.

It is so hard to understand why this woud happen to such a sweet child, but God has a plan for all of us. We must have faith that we will understand this mystery one day when God is ready to tell us.
