A friend of Michael DeVito’s leaves a bouquet at the memorial set up for him on Marsh Plaza Thursday night
The loss of College of Arts and Sciences sophomore Michael DeVito Thursday has proven anything but easy for friends, family members and the Boston University community.
Memorials and remembrance sessions around campus have provided an outlet for students to remember times they shared with Michael and reflect on his life.
Many students remember him as a good friend, a hard-working student and a fun-loving person who always helped others but asked for nothing in return.
In an interview with The Daily Free Press, DeVito’s father, Daniel, said his son loved life, was always positive and always wanted to bring out the best in people.
“Michael was truly an angel. He was angelic in every sense of the word. He never, ever had anything but a smile on his face,” he said. “He never worried about himself. Michael was truly about what life should be.”

Michael also has an older sister, Alexa, 21, who is a student at Manhattan College in Riverdale, N.Y.

“He’s really irreplaceable. He made an impact on everyone’s life, even those who weren’t close with him.”

[JR: Don't have siblings. Didn't have "deaths" when I was young. The death of an "old" person, although sad, is part of life. Young people aren't supposed to die. All we can do is offer our prayers.]
