Deveric (DJ) Stokes Jr, sous chef at @haihaimpls in @northeastminneapolis was taken from the world too soon when he drowned trying to save his friend who was struggling in the water while on Lake Minnetonka a few days ago. DJ made a huge impact on so many lives in his 29 years. Friends and family describe him as big-hearted, kind, talented, positive, spiritual, passionate, charismatic, a chef that put soul into whatever he cooked. He got his love of hospitality and cooking from his mom who had an open door and was always feeding people and taking care of them. If you came into @haihaimpls on a Sunday morning, he would be prepping, blasting gospel music and singing along beautifully, and you couldn’t help but smile. His family at @haihaimpls misses him so much. The staff says, “It hasn’t set in yet and it’s not right that something so tragic happened to someone so young with such a bright future ahead. Hai Hai will never be the same again.” Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. If you’d like to help DJ’s family cover his funeral costs, please visit the GFM link in our profile. Please leave a message with some words or memories about DJ, or a message of healing to his family below. Rest In Peace, DJ.
