I have seen Devane for the first time rapping up and down our street. At the top of his voice he would be singing away, not only singing but dancing along with the music. I used to just wave and carry on with my day, until I ran into him at the mail box and started to chat. I said you are a little dressed up! Where ya going? He says, This is me everyday and I have to look fine for the ladies. I laughed and he laughed and since that day forward we were friends. I used to point my finger at him for driving to fast up and down Jones lane. He laughed and would just turn the music up. he would walk buy in the summer with his container of OJ, and I would say give me a hit of that mix brahhh!!! We hung out on Halloween, good times. He said to me you never have to worry about your safty, Im always watching your crib. I could go on and on, but I cant type threw the tears. My heart goes out to your family and friends you leave behind. YOu will always hold a very special place in my heart for ever my son. Angie 4 Jones Lane

Deschanel, we are very sad to hear about the death of your brother, Devane. Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Your friends, Owen & Jaimee.

rest in peace.

Dana, We love you so much, we have seen what God does when you allow Jesus into your heart. You are a light and strength to your family. We pray for God's continued will, mercy, grace, comfort and salvation for everyone you know. May Jesus Christ's love cover your self and your family, Amen. John 14 says: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:1-18 KJV)
