Devin was a very loving and generous young man but more than that a wonderful son who always made me feel special and loved. About 5 yrs ago there was an Alaskin Husky I wanted really bad that my X kept promising to get me but almost 2 months passed and he still didn't get it so one afternoon when my son came home from work he went for a walk and came back with Dutchess in his arms and said here mama Happy early Mother and Fathers . It was his 1st job and 1st paycheck and I wanted him to buy himself clothes cause that's one thing that boy couldn't seem to keep track of but instead he did this but its how he was and we loved him. My 4 boys are all so very special to me and I was blessed to be his mother. I just wish I knew I was running outta time with him cause too much was left unsaid. We knew the love we had for each other and never held a grudge cause soon as we were done fighting an we had big fights at times but no matter what we would hug and make up within the hour. I just wish I would've been able to give him that one last hug he wanted cause had I known it was gonna be the last chance we had I would've walked all the way to Sulphur to just hold him one last time and let him know how much I really loved him. 
     Don't leave things unsaid to the ones u love and make every day count cause u never know if its gonna be ur last.

You laying on my couch telling me about your night you had working when we lived in westlake and you and Charles standing in the mirror for hours talking about those girls y’all were gonna pull just two of the cutest little teens and you always had the biggest heart no matter what I pray you find peace and love in heaven we love you and you will forever live on through us love your cousin Lisa ! 

 I’m deeply saddened I won’t get to know him as a man, yet I feel fortunate that my lasting memories will forever be  how completely he expressed his love as a young child. When he was a young boy and he would see me he would run up to me yelling Paran! Paran! And he would wrap his arms around my leg and look up at me with the biggest smile and tell me he loved me and then re-bury his head into my hip. I certainly didn’t deserve such devotion, but there could be no denying how that boy felt.  
          Devin, I’m sorry I didn’t lead by a better example. And if anyone can understand what you were going through… I understand. I pray you find in heaven what you were in need of here. I love you. Goodbye 
                                         Love, Paran

My first memory was the day Devin was born. A beautiful baby boy and I was so proud to be called his grandma. At about 2 yrs old I woke up to him cracking raw eggs on his brothers head. He laughed so much and Charles was just smiling and bouncing up and down in his walker lol. First days of crime for them.  He was truly a gift from God.  He grew into a beautiful man and had a beautiful daughter. Emeryson Rae Conley she became his life ❤. Devin was an amazing dad and his heart was full. But he got lost when he couldnt see his daughter anymore and his heart was full of pain. He made mistakes but havent we all! Devin and I had our arguments and butted heads but I love you Devin more than you could ever know. Im so sorry i wasnt there for you more and would have had more patience with you and listened to you more and understood the pain you were going through. I was always told show tough love. Well tough love does not always work.  Instead i now beleive more listening and understanding and never turn your back on anyone in pain. I love you so much and will always miss you. My heart has an emptyness without you that can never be filled again. But I know you will be happy now with no pain or heartache. This is not goodbye so I will see you later with your babygirl in your arms. God will make sure you have your babygirl with you again. I love you and will always be thinking of you!

So many memories that I could go on and on but the very last memory I have is him opening the door when I was dropping my daughter off to our grandmothers before work early in the morning and him taking my daughter in his arms while she was asleep and watching him lay her down in bed with him so he could let his grandma sleep in instead of waking her up to tell her I was there. It was the sweetest thing and he was always good with all the kids in our family. He had so much love for his family no matter who it was. Family was family to him. Every time I would see him he would make sure he told me how much he loved me. It’s so sad that he was taken from us so soon. 

I grew up with you bubba we picked up state boards as kids together we used to fight people only got off the school bus together all the older kids when we was in elementary school we beat up middle schoolers that was funny LOL me and you was the double Duo if it was me and you against the world the world never stood a chance we're bad lol. He went to jail together we even went to a program for 2 years together we got clean and we got baptized and then you made a baby best me to be the godfather which I feel so blessed to be and now you left me this beautiful creature that I have to watch grow up looking just like you told me everybody was going to regret everything but they never told you whenever you told me to listen  you was not lying I'm sorry bro the one time that I wasn't with you I know depression brought you down to a very bad state and you've been telling me you've been depressed but I just wasn't hearing it depression was a real thing and it's something that you had and I wish I could have carried that burden for you and I'm so sorry I love you bro you will forever be embedded in my heart I will never be right without you I'm going to miss you my life will never be right without you I will never feel complete no more happy for the rest of my life I miss you so we meet again forever I love you from Charles your lil brother


Devin was my first blessing! I loved him from birth! He could Always bring a smile to your face with his winning personality! Being his Grandmother was one of my best Blessings in life. I will always love him Dearly.

Devin used to stay across the street from me on fontenot road in Westlake ,him and my boys Dante Jeanise and Nick Boone used to cut up, him and my son Nick Boone worked the firework stand together one year and they had a good time. He was such a sweet young man .. he will be missed...

This was an off guard picture of Devin and his whole world, Emersyn! You can see in and picture of him with her the love he has for her. There was no hiding that! 

I will always remember your contagious smile, while it was very mischievous you couldn’t help but to smile back at you! You were the first of my nephews and I felt so special to be apart of your life. You will always be in my heart and that smile will always shine bright in my memories. I love you forever.
