DRAKESBORO – Harold “Aaron” Devine Jr, 78, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
Aaron was born on February 29, 1948 in Greenville. He was a highly skilled welder who took great pride in his work and was respected for his craftsmanship. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing and hunting, muscle cars and was a bit of a history buff. He was always eager to learn and share what he knew.
Aaron was a faithful member and served as a deacon at Powderly Seventh-day Adventist Church. His faith was an important part of his life, and he faithfully served his church and community.
Aaron is survived by his loving wife, Nikki Devine; his daughter, Amy Wash and her husband, Jay, and their sons, Eli and Max; his son, Brian Devine and his wife, Kate, and their children, Aedan and Eve; and his sister, Shelia Evans (Don Evans). He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his father, Harold “Butch” Devine, and his mother, Lois Devine.
Aaron will be remembered for his strong work ethic, quiet strength and love of fishing. Though his passing was sudden, the memories he created and the love he shared will remain with those who knew him.
Aaron often found himself helping in the need of others, and just like his father “Butch” he would have given his shirt off his back if you had asked him. Although a natural skeptical person Aaron had the knack of seeing through the noise and seeing the true needs of others.
The family appreciates your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. A Memorial service will be held at the Powderly Seventh Day Adventist Church on Friday, July 3, 2026 at 12PM with Pastor Kevin Dunn officiating. Burial will be private. Visitation will start at 10:30AM on Friday at the church. Tucker Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.tuckerfuneralhomes.com.
