I just learned of Devon's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. Although Devon wasn't in my class, his older brothers had been, so we had a connection. Devon used to come by my room to talk about how things were going with him & his brothers. I loved this kid. I'm so sorry. Gone far too soon. God bless the family. RIP

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Devon's 9th-grade English teacher at NHS. I ran into him a few years ago and he greeted me warmly and gave me the biggest sly smile and told me that he was doing well, I was so happy to see him.
Rest In Peace #ScarletFlier
