John Devencenzi Obituary
02/18/1956 - 08/20/2025
John Michael Devencenzi, 69, of San Francisco, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025, in Newberg, Oregon, after a long journey with heart failure. Born February 18, 1956, to Angelo and Lenore "Lee" Devencenzi, John was known for his humor, warmth, and gift for connecting with others.
He built lifelong friendships through school, church, and his career in sales and driving. He loved great conversations, sports-especially football, golf, and basketball-and was famous for stories, trivia, and laughter. Above all, John's greatest joy was his family.
He is survived by his children Ryan (Morgan), Loren (Susan), and Megan (Oldadapo); their mother, Patricia; five grandchildren; brothers David (Char) and Michael; and many relatives and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held October 17, 2025, 3 p.m. at Timberline Baptist Church, Sherwood, OR. Please RSVP at jdchip.squarespace.com

I am so sorry to hear of your passing cousin. It always helps to know you were welcomed by a great group of family. I´m guessing Tony was first in line with your parents and mine at his side. My heart & prayers go out to your family.
