ATLANTA, Ga. — The family of a 25-year-old Navy sailor stationed at NAS Jax is looking for answers after his body was found in a Georgia river Thursday. Action News Jax’s Atlanta station WSB-TV talked to the family of Devin Jeter saying he dedicated his life to service.

Jeter was the youngest of six siblings and followed two of his sisters and an older brother into the military shortly after he graduated from Druid Hills High School in Atlanta.
Jeter’s enlisted in the Navy and served in Japan before he was recently redeployed to NAS Jax a few months ago, his family told WSB-TV.
“(He was) a caring, thoughtful person who enjoyed life, and he was always a happy person,” Debra Smith, Jeter’s great aunt said.
