Christian Devi Brando Tribute

I attended Bretwood Academy military school in west Los Angeles in the early 70's. I was an "officer" and Devi was in my C company for 1 year. I also worked graveyard at the Jiffy Fuel (Phillips 66 self serve) behind the Kirkeby building in Westwood Village the summers of '70 & '71. Devi was a very sweet kid - lost and alone. He was always respectful to me in school, but seemed to always be in trouble with other "officers," teachers and the adminstration. Devi used to wander the streets of Westwood Village (near UCLA) with no one caring for him and no place to go. He used to come in and visit me at the gas station late at night - just to have a warm place to hang out and a friendly person to talk to. He was a slender frail lilttle guy and I always felt sorry for him and was always nice to him. Back in those days I didn't know anything about Hollywood & his father. Although Marlon Brando was a great actor, he was a rotten father. I was sent to another school I never saw Devi again. I followed with some interest Devi's downfall. I hope he is resting in peace and maybe he knew Jesus. Something inside of me tells me Jesus saved this troubled guy. God bless.

It's three years since you departed. Hope you're having great fun up in Heaven. xx

CHRISTIAN (DEVI) MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. I NEVER MET HIM BUT FELT I KNEW HIM WELL. I WOULD SOMEDAY REALLY LIKE TO MEET HIS MOTHER ANNA, MAYBE I COULD GET TO KNOW A PART OF CHRISTIAN THROUGH HER!

Rest in Peace sweetheart.

It breaks my heart to know that this handsome, kind and talented man died so destitute. Christian fought this harsh world as long as he could. May he rest now with the Stars. A bientot.
