R.I.P.--DJFREEMA--Devin Freeman

[Recovry4x4]

Oh crap. I was having such a wonderful Thanksgiving. Devin was one of my LEO brothers. My heart aches tonight for his family's loss. I know Devin will suffer no more as he takes his seat beside the Father but ........wow, 38. I will pray for the comfort, understanding and guidance for his family.

"Lord God, our blessed and Heavenly Father. I know that your will has been done and that you have recruited yet another angel. Father I ask that you dispatch a score of angels to help Devin's family to grieve and heal and to press on with the life you've planned. There are no mistakes in Your earthly plan, only misunderstanding by us mere mortals. Father we bow to Your will tonight on this Thanksgiving and we give thanks for the time that You have given us with Devin. I ask this in your Son's Holy and Matchless name, Amen"

This certainly does suck! The guy was seven years younger than me, for cryin' out loud!

Doesn't seem fair.

Will send prayers from Iowa for him and the family he left behind.

Even though I didn't know him, this hits close to home. I'm 38 myself, and just lost a high school friend to cancer yesterday. I know in my heart, God has a plan for us all now matter how hard it is.

I am lucky enough to have one of the trucks Devin had a hand in building. I am very proud to have this one in my collection. Prayers to his family, wife, and 3 daughters. He was a great brother.

Met Devin on plenty of Dirt Bags, his rig and his family were always tops and he was a humble gentleman and willing to give a newbie a hand.

I've seen way too many go before they should have. RIP Devin, their is place in my heart that will remember you and your family.

BarneysZoo do you have any information of memorial arrangements? I'd like to attend if possible.

 

[Barneyszoo]

I do not know of any arrangements, im sure the family will make them known as soon as they can

 

[FMJ]

Rest in peace Devin, prayers to the girls.

I met Devin at one of the Rally's and I could tell he was a good guy. I only wish that we could have spent more time to get to know him better. RIP Devin.

I hope there is enough money in the Chaplins fund to send a card and some flowers. Chaplin?

Roger that Wreckerman.
Thanks to an anonymous benefactor, the SS Benevolence Fund is prepared. (sorry I've arrived late - Thanksgiving distractions)
Do we have contact info and/or mailing address - if so, will someone please PM to me. Thanks.
Anyone have a link to an Obituary?
Thanks.

Heavenly Father,
We have lost a brother from this earthly family, yet we know You knew him even when he was in his mother's womb. Just as you know the number of hairs on each of our heads and every sparrow in the sky, we know You watch over us. We ask you now to look over those left behind who knew and loved Devin. Bring them comfort for their grief and hopeful peace for their emotions.
In Jesus name we pray.
AMEN!

Google is our friend.
Here are some links announcing Devin's passing.
It is sad to search the internet for such news.

My prayers are with this brotherhood of MVers, his LEO brotherhood and most of all with his family.
