Summary: Devon Murray, 19, of Dickinson, ND, passed away unexpectedly at Sanford Medical Center in Bismarck, ND, November 7, 2024. A memorial service was held November 16, 2024, at Stevenson Funeral Home with Pastor Scott Skones officiating. Devon was born on January 21, 2005, to Brian and Jenifer (Maier) Murray in Bismarck. Devon's life, though brief, was filled with connections, passions, and a profound love for family. A 2023 graduate of Dickinson High School, Devon was known for his quiet nature. He was well versed in today's digital world and was an avid gamer. He had a large community of friends across the country. His online connections meant a great deal to him and he especially enjoyed meeting them in person during his travels. He was recently planning a trip to Las Vegas to visit the most meaningful connection he'd met online. After high school, Devon worked various jobs while exploring different paths. Recently, he was thrilled to settle into a new role as an assembly tech at Steffes, where he had hoped to build a lasting career. He took pride in his work and was excited for the opportunities ahead. Devon's role as big brother was one he cherished deeply. He adored Jaxon and Tyson, and never missed a chance to pick them up from school or spend time with them. As the oldest of the cousins, he loved being the "cool big kid," always ready to make his younger family members smile. Devon is remembered by his family and friends for his kind, gentle heart and his ability to connect with others in his own unique way. Though his life ended far too soon, his impact on those who knew him will be felt for a lifetime. Devon is survived by his parents, Brian and Jenifer Murray; his brothers, Jaxon and Tyson; grandma, Stephanie Murray; nana, Rose Maier; great-grandma, Ellen Ziegenhagel; uncles, Matt (Janel) Maier, Josh Maier; eight younger cousins; and a loving network of friends who were cherished as family. He was preceded in death by brother, Joseph Moch; Papa, Steve Maier (Wishek); great-grandparents, Reuben Ziegenhagel (Wishek), Leslie and Kenneth Pahlen (Grand Forks), Bill and Mary Lowry (Mandan), and Edwin and Agnes Maier (Wishek); and great-uncle, Til Murray (Northfield, MN).
