Not sure what to say?

I just want to give condolences to Tevins family. I don't know what else to say. I just found out about what happened and I am truly hurt. I used to work for Tevin at Waffle House in Kingsland, Ga. Tevin seemed to be someone who I could'nt understand because he would never let anything bother him. He would talk about what upset him but he would'nt let it bother him. And I admire him for that. nikki gudger dean

Tevin,

it has taken me a while to get something out boss. I guess I didn't want to believe it. You were a one of a kind brother in our days at "The High" Quiet with a big laugh. If you didn't know you were in the room, once you heard that laugh, you were easy to find. I wish you well in your next journey. Rest well.

Sandra, Tasha, and Georgetta,

I am so shocked to read of Tevin's passing. I will always remember the West and Daniels families sitting together in our spot on the right side in the back pews of St. Paul and seeing Tevin grow from a baby to a young man. Sandra, hold to God's unchanging hands. Can't you hear Gene singing it now? And Rev. Hagins preaching, "God's got all power in his hands." May God comfort you Tasha in the loss of your brother and you Georgetta in the loss of your nephew. If there is anythng I can co please do not hesitate to call me.

What a blessing it is to have a true friend such as Tevin. We knew each other our entire lives and I will never forget the life we shared. We grew to know each other as children and later as adults. I was blessed to have learned a lifetime of things from him. Thank you all for being such a great family to me as well. I will never forget all that you did for me growing up. I am blessed to have known him. I am a better person to have known him. I will continue to be blessed because I experienced the true love a life long friend. I will think of you often and will stay in touch. May GOD bless and keep you in everyway. Remember weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. I know Tevin is heaven watching over all of you as he always did. His love of family and friends was sincere and powerful…I hope that will carry you through these moments of such a great loss.

A plant by abundant waters....

Sandra and Georgetta,

I will not tell you I understand your pain, for it has got to be hard to lose a child. I remember Tevin's birth and can not believe I am commenting on his passing, but I do have the comfort of knowing that I spoke with him a couple of times just two years ago and he was the same sweet man that he had been as a kid. Growing up in St. Paul gave us all a since of family and I feel as if I have lost a nephew. God bless your family at this difficult time and know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Tevin is at peace.

Natasha, Sandra and family,

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirt. Psalm 34:18

God promises in his word to be near to those who have a broken heart, to be our source of power, courage and wisdom, helping us to find strength to keep moving on.

It is written in the word but I to can attest (I am a living testimony) that if you stand on this promise and continue to hold on to his hand, weeping endures for the night but joy comes in the morning.

May God bless and continue to keep you, not only at times like these but at all times.

Wendy Stepherson McIntosh

Tevin was good friends with my brother Reggie (Moon) in High School. I am so sorry for your loss. Evidently Tevin's work here is done. It's hard to believe. I rest in the fact that he is done with the cares of this world and is now resting with the Father.

May God be with you,

Memories is a must.

September 18, 2008

My sympathy to all who mourns the loss of Tevin Daniels.
It's sad sometimes when you think of how long it has been for time to have pass when you last spoke to someone. We have to stop being so busy to not pick up the phone or sit and write to say hi. Instead we rather take off from work and travel far and wide to say good bye.But Hope and Faith has Life.Because we will see each other on the other side. Whoever put's their trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.
Tell someone today that you love them give someone a hug and pass it on.

I was in disbelief when I heard that Tevin had passed. It seems like only yesterday when we walked through the halls of SHS,laughed, talked and ran to lunch. I hope that you will always remember the good times that you shared with Tevin, as I will. Although it's been years since I last talked to or saw Tevin, his personality was truly genuine. Remember to celebrate "LIFE " and know that he is watching over us all.
