Devin Cepaitis Obituary
Devin T. Cepaitis, born January 1, 2004, passed away at just 21 years old, leaving a heartbreak that words can barely touch. Devin was a loving son, father, spouse, brother, and friend whose gentle spirit and quiet strength left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Amy Tomlinson, whose memory guided him throughout his life. We take comfort knowing they are now reunited in eternal peace.

Devin shared a deep and devoted love with his spouse, October Hagopian. Their two daughters, Jaleah and Jazlyn Cepaitis, were the light of his life — the reason he pushed forward and the legacy of love he leaves behind.

He is survived by his father, Brenden Cepaitis, and Brenden’s spouse, Jaycie Cepaitis, as well as his stepmother, Rebecca Cepaitis, mother of his sister Brenaeh. Devin will also be forever loved and remembered by his siblings, Daevion and Brenaeh Cepaitis.

Devin was cherished by his grandparents, Harry and Marsha Dietz, Sharla Cepaitis, and Kevin Mark; his aunts and uncles, including Denisha Cepaitis, Isaiah Mark and his spouse Stephanie Severs, and Kevin Mark Jr. and his spouse Bonita; and his cousins, Jayceion Cepaitis, Nevaeh Mark, and Kevin Mark III, all of whom held special places in his life.

Devin’s heart was big, his love was real, and his presence brought warmth to every room. He adored his daughters, protected his family, and carried a tenderness that will be missed more than words can hold.

All services will be private. Styninger Funeral Home in Nashville is in charge of arrangement
