Statement from the Family of Devon Johnson
Â
"With tremendous grief and sadness we can confirm that Devon Johnson passed away yesterday, November 6, 2018. Devon was only 25 years old, and was taken from us far too soon. He was a beautiful, fleeting flame in all of our lives that tragically did not get to burn for nearly long enough. Devon was an incredible football player, but he was an even better person. He forged and treasured relationships from childhood, to his success as a member of the Marshall Thundering Herd, to his time spent in the Carolina Panthers organization, and beyond. Devon will always be in our hearts, and we sincerely appreciate the outpouring of support, thoughts, and respects. We kindly and humbly ask that at this time, our family be allowed to grieve privately, so that we can properly process and mourn this sudden loss. Please keep Devon in your prayers, and thank you."
