Devan Jay Ackerman, 28, leveled up and left this realm on June 26, 2023, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Born on August 23, 1994, in Greenville, SC, Devan was a true character, bringing joy and laughter to all who knew him.

With a heart of gold and a knack for cracking jokes, Devan was always on a quest to help others, both human and furry. His selflessness knew no bounds, and he even became an organ donor, ensuring that his final boss battle would leave a lasting impact.

Devan's educational journey took him from Mauldin Elementary in SC to Allegan High School in Michigan. He continued to level up his knowledge at Grand Valley State University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, unlocking new skills along the way.

While balancing his fast food adventures and remote customer service quests, Devan finally achieved his ultimate dream – becoming a Professional video game streamer "Staypuft". With his quick reflexes and witty banter, he entertained countless viewers, proving that gaming could be a true art form.

In the game of life, Devan chose a different path for his final ceremony. No services are planned, but his legacy lives on. For those who wish to continue his noble quest, contributions can be made to Gift of Life MI, an organization that battles alongside heroes, saving and enhancing lives through organ and tissue donation. https://giftoflifemichigan.or…

Devan Jay Ackerman leaves behind his proud parents, Alan and Jennette Ackerman, as well as a whole guild of aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever cherish his memory. He reunites with his beloved grandparents, John and Joyce Fornoff, and Bernard and Esther Ackerman, in the realm beyond.

As we say farewell to our gaming champion, let us remember the laughter he shared, the kindness he showed, and the puns he delivered with impeccable timing. Devan's spirit will forever continue to level up our lives, reminding us to find joy in every respawn and to always keep our hearts gaming.
