Devin Michael Richards, 23, of Sandusky, passed away Friday, March 6, 2015, as a result of an automobile accident.
He was born on Oct 5, 1991 in Sandusky, Ohio to Devin Weatherspoon and Davida (DeeDee) Richards.
Devin's early childhood development included Montessori Children's House, Bay Area Christian College, and Sandusky St Mary's prior to entering Adams Jr. High. Devin also briefly attended Greenforest-McCalep Christian Academy in Decatur, Georgia, ultimately graduating from Sandusky High School in 2009. Most recently, he was matriculated at Bowling Green State University pursuing a Business Management degree to compliment his career goal of becoming a culinary professional and entrepreneur. Devin loved all aspects of culinary arts, from management and concept to preparing meals for friends and family. He was most recently employed at Denny's and Jimmy John's.
Devin was very intelligent, charismatic, and an avid reader who also enjoyed listening to music and playing video games. He was exceptionally gifted in his ability to perform under extreme pressure, as well as motivate others. As a result, he was often promoted for such efforts.
