Devin Merrill, August 2nd 2021

Devin Francis Merrill passed away suddenly yesterday morning at around 3 a. m. 

He would have been 57 years old on his birthday this coming Saturday. 

He and his brother, Craig, and I had breakfast together last Monday on the 24th of July. He seemed just fine then... His normal, friendly, thoughtful self.

The photo attached here, taken by Craig, was at the Corner Bakery in Orem on July 3rd where we had taken their mother (my sister), Beth, to celebrate her 83rd birthday. My wife, Cathy, who is basically like a real sister to Beth, also was with us. 

Fond memories. We will all miss Devin a lot.
