MIDDLEPORT — Devin Paul Price, age 25, of Middleport, Ohio, left this earth on Sunday, December 6, 2020 after a short illness. Devin was born in Gallipolis, Ohio on February 4, 1995 to Margaret George and Shawn Price.
Devin attended Meigs Local schools before graduating from ECOT School, Columbus, Ohio. He had a great interest in technology at an early age, building his first dual processor computer at the age of 15. Needless to say, he was excited, to be hired in the IT department of a local manufacturing company, Jackson, Ohio. Previously he was employed at Sherwin - Williams Paint, Jackson, Ohio.
Devin participated in many youth activities, including the Waterford, Ohio Youth Wrestling, qualifying to attend the tournament in Pennsylvania; he also played for the Waterford, Ohio Little League and was a Boy Scout Wolf Cub. At age 8, Devin was a linebacker for the Meigs Marauders Maroon Football Bend Area Youth League.
Devin was an adept skateboarder, enjoying the sport with his brother, Christian, both once participating in a skateboarding documentary. He enjoyed a variety of music, including Tesla, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Frank Sinatra. He would make his Grandma smile when he started the Frank Sinatra music and would say, " sing along with me, Grandma."
Devin enjoyed traveling and hoped someday to travel to the Czech Republic and other foreign countries. He was savvy on world issues and really enjoyed a good deliberation, whether if be about a political issue, Presidential candidates or who was going to win the next NFL - or NBA game (preferably the LA Lakers).
In addition to his parents, surviving are his brother, Christian Whittington; paternal Grandmother, Naomi Bissell Hawes, several uncles and second cousins; also, best friends Billy McQuaid, Bradley Wills and William Scarbury along with special persons Dean and Jay Whittington.
Services will be kept to immediate family members and special friends. A Celebration of the Life of Devin Paul Price will be held at a later date; family and friends will be notified.
Devin's family would like to thank the many who have sent their love and condolences. Without saying, the family is devastatingly heartbroken by this precious young soul being taken too soon.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy.

Devin was always so mature beyond his years with knowledge, but was at the same time funny and crazy in a great way. He always had positive words for me when i was overwhelmed. He cared so deeply for others. I am so sad that he will be gone for now. Loved that gorgeous head of hair! Devin, i wish there was a bunch more like you in the world!

He was an amazing young man and will be truly missed. He was the sparkle in his mothers eye and will watch over her until they meet again. Prayers for the family and friends, as I know there are many. My love to you all.
