Mr. DeVine was a proud Christian and loved the Lord. He was a member of First Baptist of Tanner and ran a bus ministry that was his call to duty. He was an avid University of Alabama sports fan and also loved the Atlanta Braves. He enjoyed country and gospel music, loved eating at Cracker Barrel, and was proud to be working and active with Youth Sports Coaching in Decatur. But most of all, he dearly loved his family, especially his two sons and his granddaughters.
