From The Article:

"Devon Staples was a good looking 22 year old with his whole life ahead of him. He was once a cast member at Disney World, he played Gaston and a few other characters around the parks. He set off a firework on his head and sadly did not survive. He was celebrating the Fourth of July in Maine with family and friends. He set off a mortar tube on his head. According to his brother, Cody Staples, “I was the first one who got there. There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there,” “It was a freak accident.” He is described as having a great sense of humor and would do anything to make people laugh. And he always stuck up for the underdog. He loved his job at Disney because he could make people laugh and make their day a bit brighter. Here is a video of him as Gaston at Walt Disney World. As a tribute to Devon his brother wants everyone to go out and do something nice for someone else. Show love to someone that you don’t know. Sounds good to me!" - Chip&Company.com
