Michael DeVee Obituary

Michael Lee DeVee

Michael Lee DeVee, 53, of Williams OR passed away on October 3, 2021, surrounded by his family. Mike was born in La Mesa CA and moved with his parents to Williams OR as a child. A graduate of Hidden Valley High School, Mike chose to stay and raise his family in the beautiful Williams valley where he established his classic car restoration business and built a family with his wife of 23 years.

An artist in his own right, he poured his passion into 60's and 70's muscle cars. His work spoke for itself on a national level adding credibility to his nickname of 'Mopar Mike'. As his passion became his career and his family grew, he spent more time enjoying the open road on his Harley Davidson and above all spending time with his grandchildren, family and friends.

The Mopar community has lost a great restoration expert and friend. Mike will be dearly missed and always remembered as a great husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Mike was preceded by Grandfather Les DeVee, Uncle Loren (Speed) DeVee, Grandmother Mary Hevener, Grandmother June Bisordi, and Sister Mary DeVee.

He is survived by his wife DeLisa DeVee; Parents, Roy & Ruth DeVee; Sons, Jason (Dani) Duby and Justin (Stephanie) Duby; his five Grandson, Matthew, Colin, Benjamin, Connor, and Casey, his sister, Sherrie Labat; nieces Chantale Gideon, Mindy Taylor; and nephew Nathan Labat.

A celebration of life service for Mike will be held at Provolt Community Church on October 23, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. It is open to all who would like to join in celebrating Mike's beautiful life.
