Devin Knight Obituary

Devin Aric Knight was born on February 8, 1998, to Terry and Gayla (Perkins) Knight, in York. Devin passed away on July 9, 2022, at the age of 24 years old, in Lincoln, after suffering injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Devin was known for his big heart for animals and kids. He was compassionate, loyal, and accepting of everyone he met. Most would tell you that they loved his smile and loved his smirk even more, which usually meant he was up to no good! Growing up his quick wit kept us all laughing and many conversations at mealtime will be treasured forever. Devin had a passion for wrestling in middle school and high school and was famed for making several last-minute comebacks which made him so fun to watch. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friends and had a love for music. He was a proud uncle and constantly strived to be named the favorite!
Devin is survived by his parents of York; his sisters, Jordan (Gene) Felise of Omaha, Connor (Dustin) Fuhrman of Nebraska City and his brother, Braden (Jadelyn) Knight of David City; nephews, Huxley Fuhrman and Titus Knight and nieces, Oaklynn Felise and Quinley Fuhrman. Devin is also survived by his grandma, Gwen Kiser of Sun City, Ariz., many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a large group of loyal friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Dean and Treva Perkins, Joe Knight and Chuck Kiser.
A Celebration of Life is planned for Sunday, July 17, 2022, at 3 p.m., at the Holthus Convention Center in York. Devin didn't like to dress up, so please feel free to dress casually. Cremation to follow. Private family inurnment.
Visitation will be held from 1-8 p.m. on Saturday with his family greeting friends from 5-7 p.m. that evening, at Metz Mortuary.
Should family and friends desire, in lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to the family for later designation.
Devin's compassion for others continues beyond his life with his decision to be an organ donor.
Condolences may be left for the family at www.metzmortuary.com. Metz Mortuary, York is handling arrangements.
