Here's what I learned from this guy: Live large and don't hold back! We have no idea how much time we each have left on this rock. RIP, Brian.

It started with Fannie & Mac. Irish immigrants searching for the American dream. The McDevitt brothers were their reward Jimmy, Michael, Tommy, and Jack. These handsome Brewery Town boys fulfilled the dream. Creating a family filled with love and caring for others but especially each other. Whether you were born in, adopted in, or married in you became part of our McDevitt family. Me and Brian were born two months apart and have been close our entire lives. As with all of my cousins, we started families of our own and the space between us grew but our love and friendship never faded. Children grew and married, grandchildren multiplied but we never lost touch. When we would meet up laughs & tears flowed as we recounted the many wonderful stories, new & old, that is our legacy. I will miss you, Brian, until I join you again for a beer and a laugh. Much love, Mary McDevitt❤
