I lost a great friend when Devlin passed away. He was a roommate at Iowa State and he taught and helped me in my life's journey after ISU. He will be greatly missed in my life and I appreciate the time we were given. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends as we remember what he meant to each of us.

My journey with Devlin started as an intern for one of his first businesses where Devlin taught me the value of working till you drop and loving every second of it. It will end with him as a mentor and most importantly friend. I'll cherish the memories and time we shared together. Devlin will be missed by many! I wish all his family and friends peace during this time.

I am so very sorry and heart broken to hear about Devlin. He was a very special friend to me all through high school and college at Iowa State. I was so lucky and blessed to spend some time with Devlin and my family in Atlanta and St. Louis over the years and have such great memories. He was always so positive, caring and had such an upbeat spirit about him. He holds such a special place in my heart and he will truly be missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family!

i always told my children to be that person in high school who is nice to everyone and that way everyone will like you. Devlin was one of those people in my high school. While we weren't close friends he was always nice and laughing about something. He had a kind spirit and you just knew he was a good guy. My condolences to the family.

Devlin was a great long time family friend. My older brothers were closer to him than I was, but that did not matter to Devlin he always had a smile on his face and was very engaging in conversation. Devlin Reynolds was a great man.
