With heavy hearts and profound love, we announce the passing of Devin Earl Lee, who left this world on September 27, 2025, at the age of 61.

Born on July 29, 1964, Devin lived a life full of devotion, laughter, and purpose. On April 21, 1990, he married his best friend and lifelong partner, Pamela, and together they built a family and home filled with love, loyalty, and countless memories. Devin was the proud and devoted father of four children - Meranda (Evan), Meredith (Kevin), twins Mackenzie (Colton), and Matthew - the adoring Papa of his grandchildren Toby and Hermione, who he cherished most, and the playful Papa to four beloved grandpups. Devin was preceded in death by his parents, Orman and Arola Lee, his niece Jessica and his brother Bob. He is survived by his siblings Randy, Mark, Stormy, Karen, and Darren, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.

Devin was the true backbone of his family - the kind of man whose quiet strength and steady presence made everyone feel safe, supported, and deeply loved. Devin spent over 20 years honing his skills as a proud B.A.C. Trowel Trades Local 2 journeyman, working with various companies and earning the respect of all who knew his craft. He ended his career with RAM Construction, where his dedication, integrity, and hard work left an everlasting mark.

Outside of work, Devin's joy was found in the simple but profound pleasures of life: cheering for the University of Michigan (GO BLUE), fishing, kayaking, hunting in the stillness of the woods, riding motorcycles with the wind at his back, and feeling free in nature. He cherished watching birds in his yard, being a homebody surrounded by the people he loved most, and seeing the world through the eyes of his grandchildren.

Devin's legacy is one of unwavering love, dedication, and wisdom. He was the best man anyone could know - a husband, father, Papa, brother, and friend whose presence was both grounding and inspiring. His memory and spirit will continue to guide his family, who will forever carry him in their hearts.

Family and friends are invited to gather for a viewing on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Watkins Brothers Funeral Homes, 214 M-52, Perry, MI 48872 United States. A celebration of life will follow at Devin and Pam's home. The family asks that you please share this invitation and help us welcome every single person whose life was touched by Devin. His greatest joy was the people he loved, and we would be honored to have all who knew him join in celebrating his life.

Though he has left this world, the love he gave remains eternal - woven into the fabric of his family and carried forward in every story, every laugh, and every quiet moment of remembrance.

Will miss our agreements on how awesome u of m is. Loved spending time out the farm with him as kids, sometimes doing stuff that we were told specifically not to do. But it was still a lot of fun. Enjoyed the times up north and will miss seeing you. But we will keep your memories going. You've got an awesome goofy wife and very strong children that will hold the fort down. Love you forever uncle Devin. Go blue!!!
