Devontae was a personable, caring, smart, and driven young man. The things he enjoyed the most is watching, playing, and holding his football when he was younger. I would go into his room to find him sleeping with his football. He was very humble and loving all he wanted is to be loved. He embraced his love of reading with any book he would get his hands on. I raised Devontae, in the church, where he would continue his love of reading the bible. Although, he went astray like the (prodigal son) the love of God, stayed in his heart. I always told Devontae, no matter what your doing or where your going or where you are at, "keep the prayer of repentance in your heart". In other words, stay prayed up because you never know! Devontae acknowledged what I said and he went on to be with his true father. "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew the; and before thou calmest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jeremiah 1: 8). Devontae loved the color red, hence, the family wore red to his "Celebration of life". May you rest in peace with the Lord, above son. Dear God, I understand that Devontae, was a gift please help me to remain self-less about his passing. Heal my broken heart, and renew the right spirit within me. Not of hate, anger, or judgement. I know that you're still on the throne, you sit high and look low. There is "no one like you". I will always love you Son, eternally. Thank you for the "21" years you allowed me to be with my son.... GODSPEED.
