I met Devin through our mutual association with the Velomobile community and had the pleasure to ride with him on Cape Cod last year and on his last ride this year. Devin was a special person and will be missed by family and fellow Velonauts alike. RIP

Dear Lis,
We are sorry to learn of Devin's passing. We are reminded of him daily, as we have the engagement portrait with all of the wedding guests' well wishes hung above our fireplace. He was right, in that we look back 22 years later, and can remember the day, and the family and friends who were there. Devin also chose the perfect Mother - Son song " If I could" by Ray Charles, for Jim and his mom to dance to. We hope you find comfort knowing he made such a positive, long-lasting impact on our lives, for having only known him for such a short time.

There was a magnificent kindness to Devin, a kindness that is rare and a true blessing. I will miss our debates on social media, although we didn't always agree....we remained respectful, we remained friends. I will miss his photographs, he had quite a talent for capturing perfect settings; when he would post a link I quickly perused through the photos getting a rare glimpse of what he saw through a lens.
He called me friend and it was a great honor to have been his friend.
He is already sadly missed and will always be deeply loved by those of us who had the privilege of his friendship.
My deepest condolences to you all, especially Lis.
Praying for the peace that surpasses understanding and for comfort on this day, and all of the days that lie ahead.
One day, we will pick up that last conversation again my friend....peace be with you all.

I am at a loss for words and as Devin would say..that's impossible Allison .
Devin was such a wonderful, caring and talented person. And I know he will be missed greatly. I for one will miss our bantering back and forth about my lack of knowledge on computers and him telling me to get into this century. I will miss his beautiful photos that he took around the yard. A hole has been left in the lives of all who knew him for sure. But I know we will meet again one day and what a conversation we will have. Lis and family my heart goes out to you. We loved him very much.

I have not seen Devin since the early to mid '80s. He was the good looking boy next door that I looked up to and admired. Will miss his posts on social media and keeping up with him across country. Prayers and love to the family....Damon and Dawn....and the ones I haven't had the pleasure of meeting. It's an honor and privilege to have known him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Lis and family, at this very difficult time. Devin was an amazing inspiration to all of us. His passion for his family, fitness, the environment and general zest for life will not be forgotten. It was a privilege to work with him over the last 15 years.
