Devin Bergeron

Devin Bergeron was a young teenager known to his community in the Tylertown area of Walthall County, Mississippi. A native of Hattiesburg and a student at Salem Attendance Center, Devin was 14 years old when he suddenly died on December 28, 2014. Though public records about his life are limited in scope, available notices identify him as a local youth whose life was grounded in family, school, and the small-town ties that shape many Mississippi childhoods.

Classmates and school staff would have known Devin as part of daily rhythms—attending school, participating in community life, and growing up alongside friends and family in the Tylertown area. Those who knew him then would likely remember ordinary afternoons and school days that hold the small, cherished moments of youth: shared laughter with peers, simple hobbies of a young teenager, and the supportive networks of relatives and neighbors common in close communities.

Devin’s passing on December 28, 2014 was met with sorrow in his community. Funeral services were publicly noted a few days later, and he was laid to rest locally. While public details about Devin’s personal interests, extended family, or milestones are sparse in the available record, it is clear from contemporary notices that his life mattered to a circle of family, friends, and neighbors who gathered to remember him.

This brief remembrance honors Devin as a young person whose life had meaning beyond the public record. Even where recorded facts are few, the community response at the time reflects the quiet but real bonds that define a childhood in a small town. He is remembered as a son and classmate taken far too soon, and those who loved him carry his memory forward.
