The football community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Jordan Devey, a former NFL offensive lineman and Super Bowl XLIX champion with the New England Patriots, who has died at the age of 38. His passing has left his family, friends, former teammates, coaches, and fans grieving the loss of a man remembered for his perseverance, dedication, and kindness.
Devey, a native of American Fork, Utah, had a remarkable journey to professional football. His path was far from ordinary. He did not play high school football, instead focusing on basketball and music before serving a mission in Costa Rica. After returning, he pursued football at Snow College and later at the University of Memphis, where his determination and talent helped him earn an opportunity in the NFL.
In 2013, Devey signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent, beginning a seven-year NFL career that included time with the Ravens, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and Buffalo Bills. His dedication and hard work eventually led him to one of football’s highest honors — winning a Super Bowl championship with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.
Beyond football, Jordan was remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor. His wife shared a heartfelt tribute honoring the years they spent together, reflecting on their marriage, the memories they created, and the four children they welcomed into the world. She described him as their hero and shared the deep pain of losing someone who meant so much to their family.
After retiring from the NFL, Devey continued giving back to the sport he loved by coaching high school football in Idaho. Those who knew him remembered his passion for teaching, his commitment to helping young athletes, and the positive influence he had on the people around him.
A fundraiser has been created to support the Devey family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help ease the financial challenges they are facing while they grieve and honor Jordan’s life.
Jordan Devey’s legacy will live on through his family, his former teammates, the athletes he coached, and the countless people inspired by his journey. His story was one of perseverance, resilience, and dedication — a reminder that success is built through determination and heart.
Heartfelt condolences are extended to Jordan Devey’s wife, children, family, friends, former teammates, and everyone mourning this tremendous loss.
May Jordan Devey rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and never forgotten.
