It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Devin Jackson, a radiant soul who left this world far too soon at the tender age of 25. Devin passed away on May 16, 2025, in Long Beach, California, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories that will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew them.
Devin was more than just a beloved family member or friend—they were a beacon of light, joy, and authenticity. Known for their warm smile, kind spirit, and unwavering compassion, Devin had a unique ability to make others feel seen, heard, and cherished. They lived with a quiet strength, embracing life with a sense of wonder and generosity that touched everyone they encountered.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Devin’s life was their deep connection to their family, especially their twelve siblings. The bond they shared was not only close but unbreakable—a source of love, strength, and unity that defined Devin’s life. In a world that often moves too fast, Devin made time to nurture relationships, celebrate the small things, and lift others up even during their own storms.
Devin’s presence in the Long Beach community was equally meaningful. Whether through acts of kindness, words of encouragement, or simply their ability to listen with an open heart, Devin made a lasting impact on those around them. Their life, though brief, was filled with purpose and meaning, and the ripple effects of their love will continue to be felt for years to come.
As their family navigates this time of immense grief, they are committed to honoring Devin’s life with the dignity and beauty it deserves. Charmaine Phillips, a close family member, has stepped forward to organize a fundraiser to support the memorial ceremony—a heartfelt effort to provide Devin with a farewell that reflects the grace and love they shared during their life.
The family kindly asks for the community’s support during this difficult time. Contributions to the memorial fund, no matter the size, are deeply appreciated and will help cover the costs of funeral arrangements, celebration-of-life services, and related expenses. More than anything, the family asks for your prayers, your thoughts, and your continued love as they mourn this devastating loss.
To know Devin Jackson was to know light. Though their earthly journey has ended, the legacy of their spirit—vibrant, soulful, and full of love—will continue to inspire and guide all who had the privilege of knowing them.
Rest in eternal peace, Devin. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
