Devon was born October 19,1993 as we all know; I believe he was born before the 80’s but, that’s besides the point. Lol. Devon was taken way too early.
Devon set goals and despite his health issues, wouldn’t stop until he completed them. Devon began his career in Colorado at Intelli Tec College, moved back to Nc where he completed his training to become a Certified Medical Assistant. With hard work and dedication Devon became employed with The helping hands clinic As a Medical Assistant in Sanford Nc.

Devon is the baby of 10 kids, Uncle to 26, great uncle to 12, the god father to 3 and a father figure to everyone; If you know then, you know because he’s gonna tell you what you need to hear whether you listen or not. Lol. Devon was a gamer and although he loved to tell jokes, he was serious about himself and others. Devon would’ve been 28 years old in a few short weeks and planned to visit his hometown, family and friends. Devon was born and raised in Long Island NY, became a NC resident Back in 2005.

As the weekend came to an end, we were all waiting for him to be discharged to celebrate his new milestones only we got a call Monday October 4,2021 informing us that he didn’t make it.
