Devon Martin—Toronto is reeling from the loss of a beloved figure in the music community. Known affectionately as "Mr. Metro," Devon Martin passed away suddenly last week, leaving behind a legacy that deeply touched the hearts of many.
Devon was a father to five children and an iconic presence in Canada’s music scene, particularly remembered for putting his small hometown of Malton on the map. His untimely death has shocked and saddened those who knew him, especially his family, friends, and fans.
Jason Martin, Devon’s brother, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Devon Martin’s Home Coming Memorial Service" to honor Devon’s memory and celebrate his life. The campaign aims to raise $13,000 to cover the expenses of bringing Devon’s legacy back home to Toronto and holding a memorial service. So far, the campaign has raised $760 through nine donations.
Jason shared his heartfelt message on the GoFundMe page, expressing the family’s grief and their hope to give Devon a fitting send-off. He mentioned the special time spent with Devon earlier this month, which now feels like a final farewell.
The community has shown immense support, with many expressing their condolences and sharing fond memories of Devon. Jay Martin has received touching messages on Facebook, including:
