Devon Patrick Fuller ( 6/19/82 to 11/27/09 )
 

I write this with a torn heart. I found my son in his room yesterday about 2:00 PM not breathing and no pulse. My brother and I preformed CPR and mouth to mouth until the ambulance arrived almost 20 minuets later. At 1:05 AM I held his hand for the last time as his heart beat faded to none.
I spoke to him last night and when I went to bed I told him "I love ya". He always replies "love ya too." I had no idea that was the last time I would hear his voice and see his smile.
I know some of you met Devon and a couple knew him well. This is truly the worst pain I have ever experienced. I only hope I will see him again.

Dean - ugh, this news hits hard and is so sad. I know your son has been battling a grave illness for some time.

My greatest condolences come from a shared experience. It is hard to type these words without reliving my loss.

May your grief someday be overcome with rich warm memories.

Most sincerely my family and I share your loss and offer our heart sent condolences.

Feel free to pm anytime.

My heart goes out for you, I can not imagine the pain you are in.

Dean,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I had the initial personal contact with you when PorKen and I sent the liftbars to you a year ago. I feel that I have gotten to know you better through your posts on Rennlist. I recollect you and your son shared a common love for 928s. I have 3 young sons myself. Even though they are still toddlers at this time, I look forward to the day when we can work on our cars together in the same way which you and your son are able to share a common passion.

Once again, I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

I'm sorry, hang in there.

Dean,
Such a terrible loss, that I cannot even begin to imagine...

My sincerest condolences to you and your family for your loss.

Regards,

We our deeply saddened by your loss. Our thoughts will be with you.

Dean,

I'm so sorry,

My son is eighteen and we have that exact same exchange every single night, either in person or by text if he is at college. Reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I can't imagine how you feel. If you ever just want just talk, please give me a call 24/7. 765-730-2301.

Hang on, there are others who value you and still need you.

My heart is out to you completely, and all I can say is that I hope you and your family can take comfort from each other - I think family is really one of the most important things in life, and why a loss like yours is both unbearable and bearable. We on the list will all be thinking of you, I am sure.

Dean, I can't imagine the pain and loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I just told my son I love him, what a sober reminder of how fragile life is.

I'm very sorry to hear that horrible news. My heart breaks for you. I lost my son 26 months ago too. If it's any consolation, I can say you'll get through it, but you'll never get over it. Lift will never be the same as it was. The rough edges go away, but the hole never fills. Try to not let this affect your actions in any permanent way toward others. Love what you have left, and live to the fullest possible.

Damn Dean, I am so sorry to hear this. We were just talking about your son the other day wondering how he was doing. I am so very sorry.

Saying a huge prayer for you tonight.

So sorry to hear. My thoughts with you and your family.

So sorry, Dean. Peace to you, your son and all those that loved him.

I am sure words cannot express the sorrow you are feeling.

I cannot put enough words together to tell you how much I feel for you now.

Your son and your family are in my thoughts.

Sincerely,

Everyone here is part of my family. Devon was the kindest most gentle person I have ever met. His life has be hard and cruel at times. I will miss him more that breathe.

Dean, I say this through a tear or two thinking how you must feel. I will be praying for you and your family brother and know that you will see him again. He is in the arms of our lord, I am sure. May comfort greet you in your thoughts of him every minute. I have three sons and a daughter and so this is from one Dad to another.

My condolences to you and your family.

Dean,
As a father I can't begin to imagine the heartache you are feeling and I am truly sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family all the strength and love in the world to go forward.

Your son will never be forgotten, and he will always be with you.

Matt

Dean,
No parent should ever have to lose a child. As a father of six, I can't even think of what you must be going through. God's peace be with you and comfort your family.

Dean so sorry for your loss of a loved one.
God Bless you and your family

We all will say a prayer for your son Devon...Kevin in Virginia

Dean and family - Condolences to your family. Our prayers are with you.

My prayers and condolences to you...

Dean,

Very sorry to hear of this. We will say a prayer for you and your family.

Dean, I only met Devon briefly when Roger and I were at your home. He impressed me as a very sincere young man and his passing is a loss to us all. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Dean,
I was so pleased to meet both you and Devon at the ThirdCoast event in 2008. I am equally sad to hear of his passing. He was a fine young man, and I know that you were very proud of him.

Dean,
I am very, very sorry for your loss.
Steve

Terrible news, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Very sad news, you have my best wishes for getting through this with your loved ones. Its every parents darkest fear :(

Oh Dean, I'm so sorry to hear this painful news. As a parent who has lost a child at far too early an age, I know exactly what you are going through at this moment. It's a feeling I wouldn't wish on a worst enemy, and I certainly am saddened to hear a Rennlist brother is experiencing. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Most sincere condolences.

Leslie

Dean our toughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times

My family sends our thoughts and prayers. As a Dad you're facing the hardest thing imaginable to us in this brief time on Earth. You can at least know there are going to be alot of Dads who will appreciate their family that much more now.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry, for your loss.

Dean,
I met Devon at the 2008 3rd Coast event as well and I remember he was such a super nice kid!
Cherish the time you had with him.

Me and my 9 year old Austin exchange the love you/love you too, every night as well. I'm going to go tell him that right now and not wait for bedtime.

Take care partner, y'all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dean,
Zane and I are devastated by this sad sad news. Our hearts and thoughts are with you.

I am very sorry - my thoughts and prayers are with you

Dean, you and your family are in our prayers. I'm almost exactly three months older than your son. I have two children of my own and just the thought of losing them is unthinkable.

My condolences to you and family. I can't even image losing a son at so young an age. God Bless.

Dean,
Words can't convey how sad I am to hear of your son's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dean, my heart is heavy for you. And with you. I am praying for you. You must survive for the sake of your family, they need you more now than ever. I lost a child also, I know the pain.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I let my 18 year old Daughter read this thread, she cried and sends her thoughts to you and your family.
I will hug her extra hard tonight before saying good night.
Thank you for reminding me how important our time is with those we love.

My sincere condolences for you and your family in the loss of your beloved son. I hope warm memories of your son will continue to bring a smile to you in difficult times ahead. I am so sorry.

Kindest regards,

Barry Cox

Dean, I have a 32 year old son whose middle name is Dean. I still cannot imagine the loss you are feeling even though I have wondered about it often in regard to my own son. I am so very sorry for your loss and wish I could do something that would help ease the pain for you and your's. My thoughts are with you and I hope the pain will ease as time goes on. Call if you have any need to talk to someone that anyone else cannot fulfill. I will try to be a good listener.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you & your family. My wife & I were just talking today about how devastating the loss of a child would be. Ours are 20 & 24 & I cannot fathom the pain & numbness you must feel. Just 10 days ago they had a funeral for a 24 yr old Army chopper pilot who went down in Iraq just a couple weeks ago. My son played hs football with him. To see those parents & know my son was the same age & knew him just made it all too real. Just know that there are many who are thinking about you in this extended family & who care about you & what you are going through.

Dean, I just got home to see this....

Please please if you need anything let me know or even if you just want to talk (225)572-9767 anytime.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Can you share with us the cause of death?

Such a sudden departure at such a young age is certainly unusual, and therefore surely all the more devastating for you and those that loved him.

My condolences as well.
I can not imagine the pain. Even as bad as things get out there for all of us with problems, there is nothing more painful than to lose a love one, especially one's child.
My heart goes out to you.

Mark

Dude....I am so sorry to hear this. I know you loved your son so much, you were a great father to him and helped him enjoy a quality of life that not many of us could have. I know how much you sought out the best care for him and made many sacrifices in order to do so. You are a good man AND your son knew it.

God Bless You

My sincere condolences for you and your family.

I sincerely hope these few words will help you thru these hard times.

Michel

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.

One of my biggest fears is to lose one of my three boys before its my time. In 07 as I had my heart attack, in the ambulance my only worry is for me to go now before my 11 and 15 year old become men. The shock and picture of you holding your sons hand is painted in my heart as a dad. I try to say I love you as often as I can but you have reminded me to say it tonight. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Mark

My heart goes out to you in your time of loss. This is truly uncomprehensible. I'm so sorry.

I'm very sorry to hear this. We lost my brother in October and while it has gotten easier it will take a while before we really accept it and move on.

It was amazing for me to see the support of so many friends and family in these difficult times. It is not my usual nature to let people provide help and support but I am learning that letting others help lifts up and benefits all concerned. I am sure you have a lot of people who want to help you out as best they can and hope you can benefit from all that goodwill in the spirit in which it is offered.

Let us know what we can do. My sincere condolences.
-Joel.

Dean, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I'm very sorry for your loss.

God bless, Dean. May you and your family find strength in your memories of Devon.
