Timothy Devine Obituary

Timothy Robert Devine, passed away on Tuesday February 12, 2019 at the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, surrounded by family who loved him. Tim was a lifelong resident of Hanson and loved his home and his community. He had a creative spark and a talent for creating music, singing and writing prose. Tim enjoyed travelling, and had many adventures in Florida, the Caribbean, Costa Rica and Ireland. He loved the mountains of New Hampshire and the coast of Maine and loved walking the woods and cranberry bogs of his home town. Tim loved to spend time with his friends and family, and dearly loved his nephew David F. Topham III and his niece Fiona Topham of Hanson. Tim struggled since adolescence to balance his mental health and manage his substance use disorder. He sought help many, many times; often to find doors closed, premature exits, and ineffective aftercare. Tim is predeceased by his father, Robert M. Devine of Abington. He is survived by his mother, Paulette M. Silvia of Hanson, sister Emily Devine-Topham and her husband David F. Topham Jr. of Hanson, sisters Kathrine Schofield-Barton and Elysee Schofield of Florida, cousin Daniel Kline of Hanson, grandfather Robert M. Schofield of Rhode Island and his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Tim's family will cherish his memory and will keep him in their hearts forever. Tim will be honored with a wake at Sullivan Funeral Home, 2 Maquan St. Cor. Rte. 14 and 58, Hanson on February 21, 2019 from 4 - 7 p.m. and a funeral Mass at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 1 Maquan St. Rte. 14, on February 22, 2019 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Tim's memory to Father Bills & MainSpring, 460 Belmont St., Brockton, MA 02301.
