Terence Devine

Terence Michael Patrick Devine passed to Heaven peacefully in his sleep at 4am on July 21, 2025. 

Terry is known as a funny loving brother and Uncle of many, a ProLife hero, fighting for the innocent unborn babies and who helped care for our Mother Rita Devine. 

Terry graduated with honors from Cal State Northridge in Geology in 1974. He moved to Alaska to work in the oil fields and oil pipeline to California. While in Alaska, Terry volunteered with Jacques Cousteau's ship in Alaska's deep sea exploration, classifying rocks and minerals and underwater scuba diving photography. He later enjoyed swimming with manatees in Florida. Attending Church with his friend Marla Hurtado, eating out and getting ice cream on Sundays and visiting our Mother's grave was a highlight in his later years of life. 

Preceded in death by his Father William John (Jack) Devine, Mother Rita Marie Kiernan Devine and eldest brother William John (Johnny) Devine Jr. and Robert (Bobby) Oppelt. Terry is survived by our family Patriarch brother Brian Kiernan James Devine, sister Rita Marie Devine Grace (Benjamin), sister Ann Devine Burns (Vince), nephews and nieces: Brian Kiernan Devine Jr, Brooke Devine, Jack Devine (Jenn), Tyler Devine Morocco (Matthew), Liam (Haley) Devine, Julianna Devine, Angela Grace White (Aaron), Gregory Devine Grace, Mario Grace (Janet), Stefano Grace (Maiken), and many Siblings’ Grandchildren, extended family Patricia (Patti) Oppelt, Katherine (Kitty) Oppelt, dear faithful friend Marla Hurtado who took Terry to Church on Sundays.
