I was really touched when I read Devin's story on our High School principles facebook page. I shared his story to get your message out as well.
I have a son who is a high school senior that I pray for every day. He sounds a lot like Devin. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May all the glory be to God.

What a sweet and friendly young man Devin was. We are so heartbroken for all his family . Devin was a great friend to all that knew him . He was especially loved by his many friends at Copiah Academy. Our son, Brandon was fortunate enough to play football and graduate with Devin. Devin was a was one of the ones that was so welcoming to him as a new student at CA. I'm so thankful for his friendship with him and the many good memories they shared together. We have and will continue to lift everyone up in prayer through the hard days ahead.
