His Legacy Timothy James Devlin, 78, passed away July 27, 2025. He was born on September 6, 1946, in Lincoln Park, Michigan to Thomas Devlin and Mary (Mulcahy) Devlin. Tim married the love of his life, Lorraine Miklasiewicz, on June 22, 1985, in California. Tim started his career as a journeyman in the construction industry in Michigan. His career took him to California, then to Minnesota, then back to California, and then back to Michigan. Tim and his wife, Lorraine settled into their home in Houghton Lake after retirement. Tim was a highly respected tradesman and acted as the director of the apprenticeship program while he was working in California. Everybody liked Tim and he was very sociable.
