Devon and I had been friends since the first grade at St. Augustine . He was my classmate and always watched out for me . After our St. Augustine days 1- 5 th grade , we reconnected later in Middle school at Memphis Catholic . He will always hold a special place in my heart . I will cherish our 8th grade graduation picture forever. Love you Big Bro.

Devon was one of the first friends I made at Memphis Catholic, we always loved to talk about basketball which is probably why we never got anything done in class. There are no words that can be said to comfort the loss of a loved one, I send out my deepest sympathy to his family. Rest in peace Devon and I'll see you in heaven one day.

I had the pleasure of attending St. Augustine Catholic School with Devon from 1990-94 and Memphis Catholic High in 1996-97 where we were teammates on the basketball team. Devon was always smiling and energetic. He will truly be missed by all of his former classmates and teammates.

To The Lewis & Glover Family, I'm so very sorry for you lost. You all are in my Prayers.

Diane, I'm Lorene sister. We use to play together when I was around 4 years old. Vincent informed me about what happen. No Family should have to deal with pain like this.

"GOD BLESS"
