Shot Master J<\/a>. Listeners were invited to call in with the access phrase–and Devon’s signature phrase–No Kill Joy and sent their\u00a0birthday tributes.<\/p>\nThe tribute also included a number of Michael Jackson, who was widely known to be his favourite artist.<\/p>\n
His mother, Gloria, even called in during the segment, thanking the team for the tribute. She appeared to be in good spirits, although she admitted that some days were hard.<\/p>\n
“I feel so proud,” she said. “Some days I’m sad, some days I’m happy. It’s a mixed feeling but I’m trying my best. When I pass by Devon’s room, I still shout him out. I put so [many]\u00a0pictures all over, he’s always around. I don’t think of him he as he passed away he’s always here.”<\/p>\n
