We have posted information about donating to the Devin Gaines Scholarship Fund. For more information, please click on the Donate link.

Friday's wake was very moving and meaningful for everyone that attented. While we do not have exact figures, we are quite confident that the original goal of raising money for Devin's family has been met, although it will take time to confirm this. If you are still interested in donating to a cause, please click on the Donate link to sign up for a mailing list with more information on the Devin Gaines Scholarship Fund as it is made available next week.

Devin was a brilliant student, a vibrant designer, and a reliable engineer. Devin was many things to many people; he changed our lives in both subtle and profound ways. For those of us who knew him as a friend, he was exactly that: a non-judging, forgiving, no-strings-attached friend. The one you come to with your life's problems, the one who helps you see the bright side of things, and the one who improves your day with his shining smile. We will miss him.

Please join us in remembering and honoring the life of a truly great son, brother, and friend. Devin will always be with us in our memories, and in sharing those memories and keeping them fresh, we do what we think Devin would have wanted.
