I am so so heartbroken to hear of David's passing. We met through our high school choir and became friends. David was always a kind and gentle person. He will be missed by all that knew him. His family and friends will be in my prayers.

I cannot believe this. I met David in High School.  Sending my condolences to his family. 

David was always kind and he loved to sing. I am so sorry for your loss.  I regret not having had more conversations with him, despite the distances.

Destiny

God, controls life's destiny,
But makes its choice, our own. 
Yet always, he does promise us,
We'll never pass alone.

We create our own realities,
And living is our choice.
Yet life without forgiveness,
Is life without a voice. 

It's trust that brings awareness,
Pure love does matter most.
When lost in life's bewilderment,
It's fear, that we must host..

Then life and death don't matter,
We only know the pain.
Yet still there is God's guarantee,
That we will heaven gain.

So always make life's choice, yourself,
Or someone close to you. 
Then share love's quiet stillness,
As time you're passing through

No one can do it alone
Remembering David Jr, Dewey
A kind and gentle soul
Forever in my heart ♥️

My son David passed away Sunday, October 30th in Lake Worth Florida at the too young age of Forty Nine. He spent his time here in Yarnell active and alive with many friends and supporters. 
Here, he was a Happy Man!

Thank you one and all for caring.

David Devaney

May his soul and all the souls of the eternally begotten, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace.


I miss you! We were friends since we were little. This is so hard we never got a chance to meet up for lunch to reminisce. Prayers to your ohana from me and kam and John and pam and even.❤️

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew David thru music jams and he was always nice to me. He actually rescued me from embarrassment as I had packed up all my gear and forgot my purse in the jam room. I didn't realize I had done that and he brought it to the front desk just as I was panicking because it wasn't in my room.  If he wouldn't have brought it to the front desk, it would have been lovked in the jam room. He was my hero that day and will always be remembered as such. He will be missed.

Still In shock of David’s passing at such a young age.. I met David at Jumps bar in Houston and we immediately struck a friendship. He was always witty, positive, cheerful and so sweet! He captured all of us with his singing and his immense love for music and arts. Your  karaoke fam in Houston is heartbroken and we will miss you, David! Fly high my friend. 

If you know David, you know that music was his blessing, his gift, his soul.  He was constantly vibrating to the music of chaos and creation, of love and beauty, of everything that was or will be.  Once, during a late night phone call, David told me how he thought of the universe, of the after life, and to him - it is music.  Our bodies fade away and the vibrations of our soul join the universal song.  How lucky we were to have him in our lives -sharing his life, his song - his magic with us.  He is deeply missed by his family: Phyllis & Paul, David sr,  Adam and Bailey and Gage and Pandora, Mandy & Mike and Annabel and Harry.  Thank you all for sharing your love of David with us.  

This is heartbreaking.  David was a coworker, always had the good morning good daily conversations with him. Its been a great pleasure to get to know him these past few months working with him. Sending love and prayers to all friends and family. 

Please know my heart is completely broken. I worked with David and we had become close friends over these short past month. I am sending my love and prayers to his family and friends.
