A childhood friend that became a brother in arms, laughter, love and a soldier of struggle we in The Goose(The Back) know so well. He escaped the nature of a relentless city and became the best father, husband, brother,son and, friend anyone can ask for. God has called him home and I am happy and blessed to have had him when we did. Family and friends, rejoice and remember the blessing that Dev was to all us. We miss him Lord but, we also know you need him more.
