In memory of our dear friend and former colleague, Cedric Sweeting, who passed away on January 5, 2025 after a short battle with cancer.
Cedric worked for Devine for nearly 26 years before retiring in 2023. He had many talents and responsibilities over the years, but the one closest to our hearts was his title of “Grill Master.”

He will be missed.
