I'm having a hard time finding the words to express myself on these pages. Everything I think of saying sounds dull, I miss my brother, I'm devastated that I'll never be able to hang out with him at the mall, go to a cool movie with him, or jam out to some heavy metal music with him anymore. I still find myself asking my family "wheres devin" before the horror sets in all over again. I go to his door to open it and ask him a question, but then I realize it again right before I turn the handle, and it tears me apart inside. I miss you little brother and wherever you are I hope you realize just how much you were loved, I didnt say it much or maybe at all, but I loved you so much, you were my little brother and one of my closest friends. I'll see you later lil' bro. - Justin

Devin was my big brother. i can say that i have had unconditional love for two people in my life. my mother and my big brother devin. no matter what he did or said to me i still loved him. exept that one time he punched me in the face because i said i didnt think he would. he didnt even get in trouble.. anyways i will always remember the time at the movies right after i made him laugh really hard that i was like a best friend and a brother to him. his opinion meant so much to me because i always looked up to him. he made me a better person and it will be hard to keep growing without him. no matter what i will always love my brother and will miss him. R.I.P. Devin i love you.

Like Mister G. I was lucky enough to know and have Devin as a student. He was always really sweet and polite and always had a smile. Although I hadn't seen Devin in years I was crushed to hear about his passing. To his family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. We all miss you Devin. Ms. K

There are no words to say how much I love you and miss you. We have gone thru our up's and down's. I was always able to make things better. This one I can't make better and It is killing me. I miss hearing your voice and arguing with you. I just miss you and my life will never be the same. I will always think of you. I will never forget you. I wish this was all a dream, but it's not. I just want my baby to come walk thru the door......but that won't happen and it is not fair. You were doing so well and you were happy. I guess one thing I didn't teach you was not to trust everyone, but people that knew you, know that you were an outgoing spirit. You would never judge anyone. I pray that they find these people that took you from your loved ones.
I love you and I think I will cry everyday for losing you. I still can't believe it's true. I just wish I would wake up from this nightmare.
I Love you.........
One Love One Heart
now some of my heart is gone....
Love you always Mom

I considered Devin a brother, and he often called me "sis". He was the kindest brother I could have asked for. He put up with me through so much, even when I drove him crazy. He was always there for me, no matter what. I will always remember the good times that we shared, and the way he could make me laugh so easily. There were times when I just wanted to slap him, but then he would do the stupedest thing to make me laugh, and I forgot everything else. No matter what happens, I will never forget who Devin was, and what he meant to us all.
I offer any support that I can give to his family and fellow friends. I am here in any way that I can be.
Devin, I love you so much. You will be missed.
Your sis, "Apo"

My Sympathy To The Family:
I may not be able to say that I am one of you, but Devin and I were more like brothers, rather than friends. It pains me to see all you in this tragic state of devastation, but know that I am right here with you, and know that I'll be here if anyone needs anything, Devin would've wanted that... I will carry on, but not as I was before, I have lost apart of myself that cannot be simply... Replaced. But, I must carry on just the same, with these wounds that may not ever heal, they say that time heals everything, but thats an oversight to what has befallen all of us. There is rest in death, and only then are we truly, free... I will live in spite of this, and become strong, where Devin left off. Where his chance was cut short... I will prove everyone wrong and succeed, not only for myself, but for the sake and company of others. I will miss you greatly brother, and my words can only express just a fraction of how honoured and greatful I am to have met you, and be apart of your life.

To Devins's family, friends, and all whom had the honor to know him... I pray that God brings you peace during this difficult time. I have wonderful memories of Devin in a group I facilitated at All Tribes American Indian Charter School in 2004. He was always extraordinarily kind to me and I so much enjoyed talking with him about the music he loved. One of my favorite quotes speaks such truth of Devin.

My family will keep you and all your family members in prayer. For the family of Devin, you were blessed by his presence in your lives, and you are blessed by your new "guardian angel".

Devin may you watch over your family from above as you will live in their hearts forever. I can't question God as to why he took you from your family and girlfriend for it was his will to call you home early. I wish you were still here for them to have to hold to hug and to kiss. To the family, my heart is broken for you all, I can't wrap my mind on why such a tragedy had to happen to you. I love you very much and am here for you for anything you need. May you find comfort in knowing Devin is at peace with my momma there as well watching him until you meet again. The pain of losing Devin will never leave you but I pray your pain is eased in time and you will find each day easier to get threw. May you find strength in your family and not let this break your spirits. Again anything you need from me or the bullydomain family don't hesitate to ask.

To all of the family of Devin Blackowl, my deepest sympathy and condolences. Devin was my student in first and second grade, a sweet sensitive boy with an incredibly creative mind. In his short life, Devin touched deeply all who knew him, and I know I will never forget him. May he rest in peace, and may all who knew him and loved him, feel his spirit always.
