“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”
The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.
He was the oldest of three children born to Debbie and Jeffrey Faehnrich. As a child he always had a smile on his face and loved everybody, so easy going and caring for others. Devon attended Legacy High School in Broomfield, Colorado and graduated in 2020. He then enlisted in the United States Navy, April 20, 2021. After finishing his training at the top ten percent of his class, he reported to the Navigation Department on the Virginia-class submarine, (PCU) Montana (SSN 794) in Norfolk, VA on March 30, 2022. He was a member of the crew during the ship's commissioning which gave him the prestigious honor of becoming a Plankowner.
Devon loved the outdoors. He grew up hunting, fishing, hiking and camping with his family. He loved playing sports and was always up for an adventure and was fearless in everything he did. Our hearts are broken without him.
