The best way to honor Devin Willock is to remember the way he lived.
Family and friends of Willock gathered for a public memorial service on Friday in his home state of New Jersey. As was the case last week in a private service in Georgia, many shared how he touched their lives.
“I don’t think we should think about him the way he died, we need to think about him the way he lived,” said John Whitehead, his high school coach at Paramus Catholic. “And man, that kid lived. He lived a great life. He was something every kid should aspire to be like.”
