ERIC W. DEVANEY

FOREVER 35

Eric W. DeVaney was a man whose life was defined by love—love for his five children, who were the center of his world, and love for the people he cared about, who remember him as kind, warm, and selfless. His presence wasn’t just felt—it was cherished, a steady source of strength and laughter for those lucky enough to know him.

As a father, Eric was everything his children needed and more. He was their protector, their teacher, their biggest fan. He found joy in the little moments—whether it was their laughter, a shared story, or simply being with them. His love for his kids was boundless, a legacy they will carry with them forever.

Eric’s life was tragically cut short by a pill laced with fentanyl, a senseless loss that highlights the devastating impact of this epidemic. Though his time here ended too soon, his memory lives on in the hearts of his family and friends, who will never forget the love, light, and laughter he brought into their lives.
