Devin Joe Sebastian, a construction science major who passed away Nov. 12, 2021, was one of three Aggies to be honored at Silver Taps<\/a> on Feb. 1, 2022, in Academic Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silver Taps, one of Texas A&Ms’ most sacred and significant traditions, takes place the first Tuesday of each month, September through April, if necessary, following a student\u2019s death. It is one of the final tributes held for any current professional, graduate or undergraduate student who dies during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was honored along with Chance McKay Gibson, a freshman sport management major from The Woodlands, who died Dec. 18, and Miranda Elizabeth Meckel, a graduate student in the family nurse practitioner program from Caldwell, who died Dec. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebastian was born Oct. 19, 1998, in Longview, grew up in Arp, Texas, and graduated from Franklin High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He enjoyed catching sunsets at the lake, going to the deer lease, playing baseball, doing anything that helped him stay fit, and building things. He had an infectious smile, a strong handshake, and a great work ethic.

Sebastian worked hard to get his Aggie Ring, and looked forward to graduation, so he could begin his career in construction management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is survived by his parents, Donald and Kaci Sebastian, his brother Brett Sebastian, and numerous family and friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
