Dr. James Michael Devlin

Dr. Devlin was a fierce advocate for me as I limped across the finish line completing my dissertation. He was a talented researcher and always included students in his ideas and work! He held me to a high standard and didn´t coddle me, he let me know that I had it within me! I am so very thankful for his guidance, support, and confidence in me! Because he believed in me, I believed in me! He adored his family and would beam as he shared stories of his wife and children! I am deeply saddened...

Forever in our hearts. You left an indelible mark, James.

I met James in 2004 in Corpus Christi when I first left home for college. Our friendship became more of a brotherhood throughout the years and his wisdom was something I found comfort in when facing life´s adversities.The impact that James´s robust sense of humor, sharp intellect, charisma, and calm nature has had on my life helped mold me into the man I am today, and I will be forever grateful to him for that. I will never forget the good times we had - laughter, adventures, and of course,...

I was great full to know such a great man sorry for your loss

I did not know Dr. James Devlin personally, but I was one of his students for three classes. I always admired his intelligence, the way he cared for each of his students, and his constant reminder to all of us that he believed in our abilities to become great counselors one day. Any time I had a question or needed guidance on coursework, Dr. Devlin always responded and truly took the time to help. I feel incredibly blessed to have been taught by him, and hope I can use the skills I learned...

To Mrs. Devlin and sons, and all of Dr. Devlin's family: I never had the opportunity to physically meet up with Dr. Devlin, as we only related through the screen. But I can tell you that his influence and inspiration has changed my life. I'm in my mid 50's and I decided to not only try to add some skills in counseling but pursue my Masters and accreditation. As I looked at the schedule he laid out for me and the time it would take, I mentioned insecurity in it all. He boldly reassured me...

I will always remember James´ big heart and ability to quietly and hilariously light up a room. He was a one of a kind guy. Rest easy buddy.

James was a friend who brought light to every room he entered. His infectious energy and quick wit made him the life of every party, and his spontaneity turned ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. Whether it was a late-night debate, a spontaneous road trip, or a daring adventure, James was always the first to jump in with both feet, his boundless enthusiasm and creative thinking never failing to inspire those around him. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and children...

James Devlin, you were the kind of person who could light up a room with your humor, challenge us with your sharp mind, and keep us on our toes with your unpredictable energy. You were funny, smart, serious when it mattered, and just the right amount of crazy to make life more interesting. College wouldn´t have been the same without you, and neither will the world. You´ll always be remembered for the laughter, the debates, and the unforgettable moments. Rest easy, my friend.
