Shawn was a wonderful son to his mom and I know that he loves her very much. As he went back home to his real Father in heaven the love than he has for her will continue on in this life.
Nothing but love for the family and my prayers.

To The Family
I can remeber Devron as far back as Holy Rosary years. We shared many laughs,talks,fun and maybe even a tear. The memories that have been created will be forever in my heart. I am tuly sorry that he was not able to spend more time here on earth. However, its comforting to know that he will be with our Lord and Savior.
"Weeping may endure for a night, BUT JOY will come in the morning. "
Love

To the Sampson Family,
You may not remember me but I was a friend/classmate of Devron's from Holy Rosary. My mother Laura was the school secretary and my sister Rebecca was a friend/classmate of Zandria's. On behalf of my family and myself I extend our deepest sympathy and prayer during this difficult time. On a personal note I would like to tell you how I best remember Devron from our Holy Rosary days, Devron had a kind nature and the 'biggest' heart of anyone I've ever met. He was respectful, a true gentlemen. During his time on this earth he touched many lives I know he will be greatly missed. May God Bless You and give you strength, Amy (DeRagon) Zevenboom

Devron I love you and you will be greatly missed in my heart.I will never forget the all so many funtimes/moments we shared. If I was granted a wish, it would be given a second chance just to tell you how much I truly cherished our friendship. Devron you were truly a genuine friend and I thank God for being able to travel the path I traveled to find a friend like you, and you could never be replaced. Thank you for being a good Godfather to Daijah. Rest in peace and forever in my heart.
