My mother asked me to provide today's entry.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report Devin's passing this afternoon. After 7 yeras of both highs and lows, Devin's body finally gave in to the long battle against cancer. His lungs took their last breath around 1630 EST. Devin's last hours were spent beside our immediate family providing all the love and support that could be genereated. My parents were able to fly in along with Devin yesterday from Alaska and also present were Aunt Gayle, Uncle Gary, Aunt Malia, myself (Uncle Keith), as well as his cousins Zoey, Rufus, and Jason.

Even though labored breathing, Devin's body put up a fight until the very end proving the strngth of his spiit. One of his lasts words were: "Gramps...don't worry. Happy, not sad." His discomfort seemed to be minimal as his spirit gained strength through seeing his loved ones around him. Devin even conjured enough energy for one last game of online pool with myself. We could not ask for more to have this happen in the comfort and familiarity of his loved ones.

Although his body has left him, his spirit will continue to live strong in the thousands of people near and far that he has touched. Our family is overwhelmed by all the love and support out there and know that this love will allow my family to move forward with our lives without ever forgetting this amazing kid that has graced us all with his presence on this earth.

May there be an end to the pain and the bringing of peace to us all.
Keith
