A proud graduate of North Thurston High School, Class of 2006, Devin pursued his passions through careers in construction and culinary arts. Throughout his life, he nurtured a passion for learning, spending a memorable period in Ketchum, Idaho, where he enriched his life experiences. His talents were as diverse as his interests, which included sports, snowboarding, hiking, and art. Known for his beautiful smile and generous spirit, Devin cherished his family and friends above all.
He is survived by his loving parents, Patrick and Kathryn Boysen, his brothers Branden and Cameron, his sister Andrea, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Devin was predeceased by his grandparents, Nick and Irene Boysen, Evanel and Neil Nelson, and his Uncle Larry Boysen.
A service to celebrate Devin's life will be held on January 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Calvary Chapel North Thurston, located at the NW Christian Academy. In honoring Devin's kindness and love for community, his family requests that donations be made to Sacred Heart Emergency Outreach, St. Michaels Church, Union Gospel Mission, or City Gates Ministries.
Devin's memory will forever remain in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. His legacy of love, kindness, and resilience will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to be touched by his presence.

Devin and I met in middle school. I had the biggest crush on him and was drawn to his overly large smile. He was sweet, kind, and his popularity was well known. The guys wanted to be his friend..."Deebo". The girls wanted to claim him. Devin was humble and shy. I remember he purchased a Valentine´s necklace for me, completely unexpected - he was thoughtful and kind. We lost touch during high school as we attended two different schools. We connected years after - he was still always smiling, spreading positivity. It breaks my heart to know he struggled with addiction. You´ll be missed by many Devin. Time to rest friend!

Deebo was my friend in early sobriety. We both got sober young so we spent a lot of time together playing video games, talking on the phone, going out to breakfast at 2 AM, and attending some "normie" parties in the area that he always knew about. Deebo was a kind soul and didn't deserve the disease that took his life, the same disease that takes so many members of our community. I love you Deebo and I will cherish the memories we had together. You will be remembered with love, bro.

Devin and our son Chris participated in numerous sports growing up together starting with T-ball. I was also fortunate to have Devin as one of my students at South Bay when I was teaching 3rd grade. I would have my students sit in groups of 4, and change these groups constantly throughout the year. I would ask each child to list 4 girls and 4 boys that they would like to sit with when I made up new seating arrangements, and Devin was the only student who was chosen by almost every student in my class. He was cheerful, enthusiastic, positive, and creative. When I read about his death, I couldn't help but sob. Our condolences to his family and friends...
