Devin Craig Berkhousen, 54

Devin was born at Chatham Air Force Base, New Brunswick, Canada, on March 5, 1970, as the fifth and youngest child of Gary and Lois Berkhousen. 

The family returned home to the United States that same year, to Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington, when he was 6 months old. In 1977 (age 7), the family moved to Happy Valley, Blanchard, Idaho. It was here that Devin grew up in his forever home and experienced great adventures with his many lifelong friends. 

After high school, Devin was a moving spirit and left for his life’s journey. He traveled to Alaska and worked on the Arctic Tundra, then headed to Arizona to work on highways and ultimately to Los Angeles, Calif., where he joined the union of the Motion Picture Industry. He graduated to visual effects on movie sets of: "Armageddon" (1998), "Casper Meets Wendy" (1998) and "Teenage Caveman" (2002).

Through his love of music, he was a talented guitar player and enjoyed jamming with anyone, anywhere, anytime. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking and hiking. One year, he ventured alone into Joshua Tree National Park, Calif., for what he called a spiritual awakening. Eventually, Devin returned home to North Idaho and pursued training as a building inspector. He quickly decided he preferred working on his own schedule and started a successful pallet and restoration business. Devin was very special in his own way. He met people openly, wherever they were in their life path, he was there too. His charming, mischievous smile and nervous laugh will be greatly missed.

As he meets his parents in heaven, he leaves behind four siblings: Tina Jeffrey (Jon), Brenda Berkhousen (Darren Orr), Douglas Berkhousen, Holly Miller (Jack), and many nieces and nephews, and his son, Julien Sathers. 

Per his request, his ashes will be scattered on Mt. Hoo Doo outside Blanchard, Idaho, at a time still to be determined.
