August 18, 1944 – May, 22 2021

It is with great sadness that the family of Charles Garry Devolin, in his 77th year, announce that he entered into rest May 22, 2021 at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.

He is survived by his loving sons Michael (Amanda), Kevin and Garry; proudest “Papa” to Jayda and Tyson, sister Muriel Kawzenuk (the late Paul Kawzenuk), many nephews and nieces; and great nephews and nieces.

Pre-deceased by his loving parents Charles and Myrtle Devolin; sister Shirley and brother-in-law Bill Fitchett. Garry, as he was known by family, worked at General Motors for close to 38 years before retiring March 1, 2000.

Working in the automotive industry inspired his love for cars. From his 56’ Chevy to his loyalty to GM products throughout the years. He also enjoyed daily coffee chats with his cousin Fred, friend Tony and the many friends that he made over the past 12+ years at St. George’s Residence.

Garry’s sister, Muriel, has been a friend and confidante of his throughout the years, providing unconditional love and support that was the pathway to his many successes.

He was a doting grandfather, forever spoiling his grandchildren Jayda and Tyson, while celebrating their many achievements. Garry was also a registered organ donor and would be thrilled to know that his generous gift has enabled others to lead a fulfilling life.

Thank you to the staff at C6 Lakeridge Health for the care provided during his stay. Special thanks to Melissa and to Denise for your compassion and empathy.

Sadly, due to Covid restrictions and aligning with Garry’s wishes, there will not be a service.

Cremation has taken place with a celebration of life to be planned at a later date, post Covid. Location to be determined.

For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Garry’s name to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation at https://thepmcf.ca/ or Lakeridge Health.
