James "Jim" Ophus Deviney

James "Jim" Ophus Deviney of Casar, NC passed away unexpectedly at his home
on February 20th. Jim was born on December 19, 1942. The son of the late
M.O. and Ruth Boggs Deviney, he was the oldest of four children. He attended
Gardner-Webb University and Lake City Jr. College Forest Ranger School. Jim
was a Master Mason of Lodge #579 of Casar, NC. He, along with his brothers,
owned and operated M.O. Deviney Lumber Co., Inc, a third generation family
business.

A quiet legend fashioned from honesty, hard work, patience and integrity,
Jim was a dedicated husband and father. He maintained the belief that God
and family are the most important things in life. An avid outdoorsman, Jim
enjoyed hunting, fishing and anything to do with nature. A true lumberman by
trade, Jim enjoyed every aspect of his work but most important to him were
the relationships he formed throughout his life. He touched a vast
cross-section of humanity, never turning anyone away and always endeavoring
to better himself and those around him. He was a man of great strength and
character and will be missed greatly by many.

Jim is survived by his wife Collette W. Deviney of 51 years; two daughters,
Apryl D. Peters and husband Gary and Robyn D. Houser and husband Scott;
three grandchildren, Christian, Sadie and Caleb. He is also survived by two
brothers, Robert "Bob" and Max Deviney; one sister, Barbara D. Newton; two
nephews and one niece.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, February 23, 2019 at
Stamey-Tysinger Funeral Home in Fallston, NC from 5-7 pm. Jim will be
honored at a private graveside service on Sunday at Mt. Moriah United
Methodist Church where he was a member.

An Honorable Man
