Sincere condolences to the Pan Lara, P an Evolution, Pan Masters and Skiffle family, and the pan fraternity on the whole on the passing of Devon Cumberbatch .

The history of the pan is just as important as the future where it can potentially end up and blossom.” - Devon Cumberbatch Related content: Meet Devon Cumberbatch - Maryland , Details for Devon’s funeral: Funeral Service is on February 8th at 12pm.
