Devin & Dad


Devin worked in the carpentry and electrical fields with local companies and spent a lot of his time helping friends and family with their home improvement projects.

In September 2006, he was selected for the Police Academy by Charlton Police Chief James Pervier and would have started in December 2006.

On October 25, 2006 Devin passed away in his sleep from cardiac arrest due to Myocarditis of a viral origin. Heart disease comes in many forms and it does affect the young and old alike.  Often times simple tests can prevent death, especially in young people. 

Devin leaves behind his Mother (Janet), Father (Stuart), Sister (Elizabeth), his Fiancée Danielle, and what he would have enjoyed tremendously, his baby boy Austin (born May 30, 2007).
