As a grandfather of boys 14 and 17 its hard to put in words the sadness of this, Bullies have been around as long as i can remember, but never to the extent of what happening today. Devan may you rest in peace now, When you were a little boy your parents took your hand when you crossed that busy street, Now God will take that hand and take you across anouther busy street into heaven, May you sit beside your mother and dad always for they love you so very much,
( Geoff Scott 100 Mile House B.C )

My heart is crushed when I first heard of Devan. My heart goes with the family of this tragic death. He did not deserve this. He was handsome young man with a heart full of love.
I don't know the family or Devan. I have been following this story from the beginning. I am here for support love and sending prayers.
Everyday I think of Devan and the family. I am disgusting how the school has handle this.
No one should have to bury their child.
I'm from Woodstock Ontario.

My sincerest sympathy to Devan’s family and friends. What kind of monsters is society creating where one child has so much hate to viciously attack a young boy right in front of his mother. I hope the school is sued for their neglect in this situation. Maybe this is the route parents need to take against school boards until this is dealt with.

May God comfort you in these dark moments and give you strength to endure the upcoming days to caring you through.
Bullying needs to stop!!! The hurt, pain and loss it has on the victims and families is devastating....and it breaks my heart at the outcome for Devan.

I can't imagine to begin to to understand or feel what Devan's mother and siblings and closest family and other family members are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your son was a beautiful soul. I am sickened and distraught at what happened. My only wish is that the school and board are sued and that a law is passed in Devan's name and memory, "Devan's law" for a change in the legal system to make serious bullying, anything that Devan and many of his friends went through, to be immediately punishable by law including expelling from school immediately, jail time for the bullies and their parents as the main culprits and loss of job for the principal in case this is not followed through on.
Dearest Devan, you had a beautiful family, a loving girlfriend and dear close friends in your short life. You had passions and goals. You will live on forever in the hearts and memories of everyone, even complete strangers such as myself. I wish I would have been there to protect you. My own daughter used to be bullied by mean girls. I gave them and their parents hell since the school wouldn't do anything meaningful so I know how hard it must have been for your and your family. You will live on Devan. You are now immortal.I know that with your big heart, you are now a guardian angel watching over those who love you the most. God Bless you Devan and forgive us for failing you. As a mother myself, my heart is shattered for your mother and my tears won't stop...I wish I knew you and that I could hug you and protect you. You are now everyone's hero, Devan.Your name lives on...

As we mourn Devan's passing let this terrible tragedy serve as a learning experience for Devan's peers and certainly a teachable moment for the parents of the perpetrators.
May Devan rest in peace.

Theres no system here in this country its always the good people who end up dead and the law comes when they r gone its horrible. These guys r very sick and deserve to be locked up and never see light again it awful dieing thst way for no reason at all. They should of keep him in a safe place in the school and they should of call police right away and arrested them these jerks.

It is hard to stop the tears. This is overwhelmingly sad, and heartbreaking. I didn't know Devan, but what was told about him, reminds me very much of my own children. I wish I, and my sons could have met him. I am too far away to hug Shari Ann and her family physically, but I will hug them with my prayers. I pray Jesus will wrap the whole family in His love and comfort them all, through this very difficult time.
No one should ever be hurt like that, bullied like that. I pray God brings justice , and an end to all that negative behavior, and the way it is often brushed aside when people try to get help .
God bless this dear family

Teaching a child compassion with animals and seeing how he volunteered with many cats following his mothers love. Truly shows what an amazing young man he was. I pray that through all of this and In Devans memory bullying and murderes will be stopped. I pray that in losing Devan his light and spirit will guide so many others to come forward and fight against bullying so no more have to have such a tragic end. God has surely gained an angel with this young man. May you Rest In Peace Devan and I pray your up there being a guardian to all the cats who have passed.

Our own home once was in the East end, and we attended the schools there...at a time when respect for life was assured, and schools were safe, offering a bright and secure path to one's future hopes and dreams.
Your Son's selfless care for others and for animals bespeaks such a loving heart... one that now is in that Heavenly Home where no hurt of harm ever can trouble him, and where, in the midst of this darkest of valleys, trust in our Heavenly Father and His Son, our + Saviour and Resurrected LORD, will reunite you as a Family,

I have many nice memories of Devan from the time I was lucky enough to spend time with him while he was in grade 7 and 8. Although sometimes hidden by his shy exterior, Devan had a wonderful sense of humour and a wit that would catch me off guard and make me smile on many occasions. I loved hearing about his love for animals and stories about his grandpa. Devan will always be remembered as a kind and sweet hearted person.
My deepest condolences go out to his family and close friends in this impossibly difficult time,

As a human being and especially as the mother of a beautiful young daughter, it breaks my heart and pains my very soul to know that your wonderful, sweet, kind and sensitive son was taken in such a brutal and tragic way by a barbaric and senseless act of a coward who obviously did not have a heart, nor a soul nor a shred of human decency. Unfortunately your son is a rare gem in this world as he is far superior to the evil which targeted him Now there is one less good human being on this plane that I would be proud to see my own daughter become friends with. I feel so badly for this. You are a parent who instilled in your child values. The tragedy lies entirely on the shoulders of the attackers, the silent bystanders, the school employees and the families of the sociopaths. Your son was taken far too soon but he did not die in vain. May you find comfort in knowing this.

"There can be no bigger tragedy than a parent facing death of his/her child. What has befallen you is a far bigger tragedy than facing death of a child, a young child murdered in front of a parent is an incomprehensible tragedy. We have a tradition that when a deceased is descended into the grave; a close relative assists by stepping inside the grave, except when a child is to be buried father does not ; because the pain would be unbearable. Mother is closer to her children than father; my kids are very close to me, but they are much more so to their mother.
I have no words to console you as your tragedy finds me in need for consolation, yours is inconsolable. I have a teen ager who just entered grade 9 this September as Devan did. I grieve for Devan, we all grieve for your son with you.
I wish the healing dust of time takes away the sharpens of pain leaving behind memories of Devan that is a source of peace, comfort and strength. I wish those responsible to never see the sun shine upon their faces, but your closure is not in their doom, rather in seeking to keep his memories alive for you and for all of us.
I strongly urge you not let this tragedy go in vain; keep it alive. Bring it back every October as we bring Terry Fox back. Bring it back to shake our collective conscience so violently that all the souls within it wake up, let him be a watchman over the bullied, the bullying who is about to bully and all of us so never a parent has to see his child slain in front of her.
In the end I like to remind you that the dead have simply passed away, not perished. They are in reality always with us, their memories dissolve in our souls to become light that illuminates until the reunion.
Sincerely,
Ali

My heartfelt condolences. I don't know your family, but am so sorry to hear about the loss of Devan. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I wish I could do something to ease your pain.
I was a teacher. You are right, THEY don't do anything. Many times I sent students to the office, only to have them return shortly after. When students should have been suspended they were only spoken to. I don't know why. THEY say there is zero tolerance for bullying, but THEY tolerate it. The administration (principal and vice-principal) are extremely lenient. I don't know the answer. Maybe the education minister needs to put policies in place where the administration is forced to remove bullies from the school. THEY need to put the victims of bullying first.

We must mourn him, say his name, and never forget him. We must honor his name by standing up for what is right in this world.
I can tell by Devan's photos that he had a big heart, and although he was taken far too soon, his light has helped changed the world. He made a difference. He mattered.

This city and the schools need to do more then just a pink shirt day for it because I called police when my son was in grade 4 and grade 8 students followed him saying death threats. This should not be acceptable. It's sad we as a community had to hear about your loss of your son to finally wanna stand up to the school boards to do something now.

I am oh so sorry! My heart is breaking that such horrors happened. Yikes! Are we supposed to all just move on, quietly? I can’t. Change must happen! I don’t know how, or when, but count me in. This is a scar on all of humanity. I am especially worried how the family, especially you, Devon’s mother, will ever come to breath or close your eyes again. Please know that I am crying, and in shock, and furious that this tragedy happened. I want to help by sending you my love, my concern, and my full support, however you may need it now, or in the future. Please take care, and hopefully, maybe, find a little comfort in knowing that you are not alone during this devastating time.

I did not know Devan but my heart is broken for you. It is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. My son was bullied mercilessly all through High School. The school did absolutely nothing. When kids would try to follow him home, he would walk right past our house so they wouldn't know where he lived. I would hide in bushes follow him home from a distance to make sure he made it home safe and that no one was following us. He even stood up to one of the bullies once and got suspended. There has to be a safe alternative in place for schooling kids that are being tormented. His photo even reminded me of the way my son was at that age. God bless you and know many people are thinking of you and feeling your pain and sadness.

Rest in paradise Devan. You did not deserve the abuse and violence that you endured at the hands of those bullies. Had I somehow have known what was going on I would have stuck up for you and been your friend and so would have a lot of people. To Devan's family: I did not know you or your son but this tragedy has affected me very deeply like it has so many not only in Hamilton but across Canada and around the world. My heart is broken for you and the fact that this has taken place in our community at a school is outrageous and unacceptable. I think that I can speak for all decent people when I say that there has to be a change in the laws and at the schools with how bullying is dealt with so that another tragedy like this can hopefully be prevented. In the name of Devan Selvey I urge everyone to write, call and show up at the HWDSB, City Hall, the police chiefs office, the Education Minister and your MPP's office and demand changes to the youth justice act, police response policy to bullying and the schools bullying policies. Make some noise for Devan and turn this into an opportunity for real change so that his positive legacy can live on for many years and save lives. I have and will continue to cry for the loss of this wonderful young man and I send my deepest condolences to his family, friends and the rest of our community during this difficult time. This is a huge loss for all of us.

It is devastating enough for anyone to lose a child, and then to watch it happen - is even more catastrophic. My heart hurts for you and your entire family. Losing someone so young with so much ahead of themselves really takes a toll on you. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Bullying is a serious occurrence that happens way more than it should across the globe. The severity of this issue is something that should no longer go avoided. THIS IS IMPORTANT. No one should ever feel as if they aren't enough OR feel as if they don't have the same belonging in a world as ANY other person. It disgusts me to think that people go to such extremes to make this known. Devan although i did not know him, will forever hang heavy above all our hearts. Here's a pink candle to symbolize anti-bullying. A pink candle to symbolize the standing up against bullying. A pink candle to support everyone everywhere that is dealing with this issue. A pink candle in hopes that this cause is taken a little more seriously and people take a stand. Rest easy, Handsome. You were so strong for so long.

Our family has been devastated by this event - so senseless - and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, now and in the days and months ahead. May God bless you and bring you peace and consolation in the memory of what a wonderful young man Devan was. Surely his goodness, respect and kindness with live on through those he befriended. Gone far too soon in his young life and hopefully lessons have be learned through this frightful incident and laws will change to protect all the Devans from from bullying and hate that is so prevalent in today's world.

So sorry. May God help you deal with this unfathomably cruel, incomprehensible, violent and tragic act. May he rest in blessed peace.
May his legacy be that his bravery against all odds will greatly help in reducing or eliminating bullying and violence in the Canadian youth culture. His death will not be in vain.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back on memory help comfort you tomorrow"
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal."
There are no right words at this time. We just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this awful time. I am truly sorry for your terrible loss. Losing a child is heartbreaking. My heart aches for you and your family,

I pray that this senseless act of violence brings about badly needed changes to prevent bullying and the violence that comes with it. If nothing else, Devan's death serves as proof that drastic change is required by those who create our laws, the schools that should be taking more steps to protect the students in their care, and the attitudes of our Justice system and their enforcers.
I am not from Hamilton but I saw how Devan's passing brought the community together today, and I pray that it continues so that the children affected by this are able to heal, and that the community is able to push for the changes so badly needed.
My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of this sweet young man, may Devan rest in peace and may his family find comfort in joyful memories & the knowledge that so many care and stand with them in solidarity.

It seems little has changed in the past 50 years. Let this be a wake-up call, Hamilton. There are too many fine young people being terrorized by bullies. Let Devan's legacy be that the city and school boards make a more concerted effort to educate and deter. RIP, Devan. Blessings to your family.

I met Devan and his family this year through the junior youth program that Devan sometimes went. He would come with his friend Mickey. He stood out, he was always quieter than the rest, he came off as a very polite and matured boy. His hood over his head almost makes me feel like he was in deep thoughts all the time. I don’t know if his family would remember this, but one time me, my friend nava and chayan went to visit devan’s family. I remember his sister calling him her “babyyy brother” and how much she loved him. I also remember feeling how close Devan was with his mother. I saw a different side of Devan when I was with the both of them. Devan seemed more comfortable, less shy. Having a lot of fun at the front yard pretending that he’s gonna drive his mom’s car while we have the conversation. I got to know how much this family loves animals that day. That devan’s sister was expecting a baby...
my prayers are with Devan, and Devan’s family. And as a youth I feel empowered to contribute as much as I can to the younger generation, this generation needs moral education, I promise that I’ll never stop working towards this, even if it will take a very long time, we need to start aiming high.
Love, and condolences.
Rest In Peace sweet Devan

Devan was in the grade 8 graduating class with my son, Koen, at Viscount. Koen tells me that he only had one year with Devan in his classroom which was when he started at Viscount in grade 6. I didn't know your son, but I do remember him entering the auditorium and walking down the isle towards the stage on graduation day! I remember him because his purple hair caught my eye and I seem to recall someone hollering (likely a family member) something at him like 'put a smile on your face!' :) I chose to light a purple candle in his memory as my son tells me Devan liked purple (hence the colour of his hair back in June). :) Out of such a tragic occurrence we've all connected to Devan's struggle with the bullying and have also learned what a beautiful young man you were raising. Mother to mother, I have mad respect for you. His memory will be a dignified one because your shared stories and memories of Devan tell us and show us all that he was raised with a strong moral compass - a beautiful soul! Well done to you Mom! Devan's last words of "I wasn't raised like that" I hear resonate with his longtime childhood friend Mikey. Devan's influence lives on and has caused a ripple effect or rather more like a tidal wave effect that extends far beyond Hamilton. We're all with you on this journey. Seeking change. Seeking justice. Seeking peace and understanding. My heart breaks for your broken heart and the deep loss Devan's friends and family all feel. Keep his memory shining bright. Keep sharing your fondest of memories of your fine, young man - Devan! <3

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I only know your son from the news. But it hit me hard. I was always bullied as a child up until i was old enough to quit school. I remember a time in grade 7. If it was not for one person whom i dont know of. They reported to the principal of a planned attack with a knife against me. It probably saved my life. My parents where just told to transfer me. But it never stopped. I was shy. Quiet. I feel a bond to your son. And i shed many tears for your pain. Bullying has to stop. And has to come with more severe punishment. Im so sorry for your loss

I had the pleasure of meeting this young man last summer at Willow Lake RV Resort in Scotland . He and his friend Chelsey were at the wood sign class that my daughter Caroline Townsend put together for the teens of the park. He was so quiet and shy.It wasn't till the end of the class that he started to talk to us. By then well he just was so comical and well versed. He did mention his passion for cars. I thought wow this child will go places. Boy was I wrong.
Lets combat bullying.
Rest in Peace Devin.

There are just no words that seem adequate in this circumstance. To Devan's mom, as a mother of a teen boy myself, I wanted to tell you that you are in all of our thoughts and hearts. I cried when I saw the picture on the news today of you and Devan together. It hit me hard as a mom, as I too have a close relationship with my son. I can't even imagine the depth of your pain. I am so very sorry for your unimaginable loss, and I hope that through the support of your family and friends, you will find healing and peace. To the rest of Devan's family and loved ones, I am also very sorry for your loss. Just know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
There is no justice for what has been taken from you, and thought it won't bring your Devan back to you - I dearly hope that the justice system will come down hard on all involved.
My deepest condolences.

My heart aches, it's broken for the suffering, the loss you must be feeling. As a mother, please accept my heartfelt condolences, this loss is senseless. I wish you all comfort in justice and hope you can find a way to make a legacy of this shameful and senseless loss.

The School should have did more to protect Devan. Schools are supposed to be a safe place. Not a place to be Bullied and Murdered by Bullies. Those responsible are nothing but Heartless Cowards and we all hope Justice is Served Swiftly. Those monsters who did this to Devan and your family should never see the light of day ever again. We Stand with Devan and his family. We are so very sorry for this Malicious Crime against a kind, genuine young 14 year old. May your family find hopefully some comfort in this Outpouring of Love. Parents need to teach their kids Not To Be Bullies. This Must Stop. Rest peacefully Devan. You will Never be forgotten .

May the coming days, months and years bring you memories that do not just draw tears of loss but smiles and laughter of this young boy gone too soon. He has touched the lives of so many he will never meet because of this senseless act. We will all remember Devan.
You can shed tears that I am gone,
Or you can smile because I have lived
You can close your eyes and see all that I have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see me
Or you can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember me and only that I am gone
Or you can cherish my memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what I would want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

"There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world"
I did not know Devan or his family personally. I am heartbroken to hear about his tragic loss due to the cruel, senseless and immature actions of others. Devan has left a permanent imprint in my heart. I can see through pictures posted and other tributes, that he was such a good kid. I pray for Devan, his family and his friends. I extend my most sincere condolences. God Bless and rest Devan's precious soul. Amen.

Our sincere condolences to Devan's mum and sister, no one should have to pay such a price for bullying. Devan was such a sweet child and would hurt no one. I am hoping that his passing will get our school boards, police, family services and our lax justice system to address this issue. To all our family our deepest sympathies.

My deepest condolences to the family of Devan. Gone much too soon. My son attended the same school until last year and did not return this year due to bullying. This issue must be dealt with. Our young people must learn the value of life and now this child is gone without knowing the joy that life can bring. My heart goes out to you. Many prayers are being said on your behalf and the Community is pulling together. I sincerely hope you feel the love being sent your way. <3
