We are deeply saddened to share that, on January 14, Devin Patterson-Hall passed away unexpectedly due to heart complications. He was a loving husband to Rhody, father to Payton, son to Dave and Gayle, brother to Kelsey, and friend to all of us. His sudden departure, at just 39 years old, has left an unimaginable void in our lives. Devin leaves behind his wife (Rhody), daughter (Payton), and soon to be newborn daughter due in April.

Devin joked frequently, listened empathetically, and loved deeply. He spoke passionately about being a father, with most conversations including at least one story about Payton. He was genuinely curious about whoever he was talking to and never shied from expressing an opinion. Devin brought out raw emotions; whether it was tears of joy or sadness, his presence allowed others to let their guards down and be as silly, sad, or vulnerable as they wanted. These words do not provide a summation of who he was but merely scratch the surface of describing his depth and warmth.

As Rhody and Payton navigate this period of intense grief, they are also facing the daunting reality of day-to-day expenses, specifically:

We have started this GoFundMe to ease the financial burden on Rhody so she can focus on healing through this tragedy. Our goal is to provide a "safety net" for the coming months to ensure their lives remain as stable as possible during this time.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to Rhody to help keep the family on their feet. If you are unable to donate at this time, please consider sharing this page with your network.

Thank you for your overwhelming love and support.
