He was at the game on Tuesday night as was my niece, and everything was as normal. Me my sis and my niece will be there on Wednesday and hope everyone in the stadium can give this young lad a great tribute. RIP Devin 🇱🇻💔🇱🇻 1 hour ago, Homme said: Sorry for your niece's loss mate and thought to her and all your family. You are correct in what you've heard. He is a good friend of my daughter and was always friendly and chatty when he hung out with a group of them in our house. A really pleasant young man who the family can be proud of. Will be there on Tuesday too with my daughter and we will of course be joining in with the tribute. 1 hour ago, moz said: Utterly Horrific news, still trying to process this Seems a few of us on here are lucky enough to know Dev personally My lad was one of Devs close friends, they have season tickets together in the Wheatfield and play in the same Juniors team....just good mates together at school and football. Have taken Dev to many home and away games and love the lad - he just loved playing the game and following Hearts Heartbroken at the news Their Juniors game has been postponed this weekend and we off to meet all the boys at training tonight so they can all see each other and hopefully talk between themselves...they need to open up about this He was his usual self on Tuesday night, planning more away games and hospitality...even joking about seeing if he would be allowed an away Euro trip with us when we qualify..! There are more questions than answers I guess...wished he had talked to us Sleep tight Fella ....will miss you dearly I would like to offer some words of support for everyone connected to Dev, we do not know You but we are with you in strength of numbers.

Morgan Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I can honestly say, that having read about loads of things like this over the years, I have never been so saddened by any of them as I have been all day about wee Devin. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because I read the wee chap was at the game just two nights ago and was apparently just ‘himself’. Perhaps, I’m just remembering being a ‘wee Jambo’ at his age? The song, by Hot Chocolate (I think) which was posted on the first page, has been in my head all day. I sincerely hope that whatever was said, or done to, or caused this little boy to feel such a level of despair, will never be repeated again. I know that this is a forlorn hope. I know that the world now is a cruel place, a difficult place in which to live and a place where pressures, of all kinds, can be somewhat overpowering. I don’t, and now never will, know you, wee chap, but in a strange way I think I do. RIP young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moz Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The lads from Bathgate Juniors all got together last night and it done them a world of good Team management had all players and us parents together, for support and to discuss any counselling anyone should it be wanted - support from them has been immense, hats off to them for handling it the way they have. Dev wore the number 4 shirt and this will now be retired by the team, Dev will always be the #4 Future strips will have something on it as well for Dev, so that he will always be with the boys As Homme has said above, lovely touch from the youngsters today, with the release and flowers tributes etc So touching for a lovely lad who has touched so many and will be missed immensely. Lastly, as he was obviously too young for beer, you could all maybe raise a macaroni pie for him this weekend......he loved his macaroni pies !! 😄 He actually created a spreadsheet for all league teams and he rated their macaroni pies out of 10, on taste / pastry texture and cost etc...was a great running joke for our away games.

There will be a mental health crisis post covid. More has to be done to support young people going through tough times Even before covid mental health services were in crisis.

There is failings JF3T, and thank goodness for people like your good wife who help a LOT, my youngest son has had mental health issues since systemic bullying that stemmed as far back as primary school and resulted in an attempt on his life when at high school , he’s now 30 and still has self esteem issues but hopefully we will learn more and more about mental health.
