Devern was born November 22, 1955, in Pierre, South Dakota to Luvern & Delora Peck. From the day he was born he was a hand full, aka full of life as "Babe" would say. In grade school he was in a bit of trouble, he seemed to convince the girls to jitterbug with him around the tables. He was not interested in fame or glory; it was just that he liked others to know that you never missed a chance to dance with a pretty girl. He was a storyteller and NEVER told the same story twice with a generous heart of gold, never hesitating to help people out. He was adored by everyone he met. He was a true cowboy to his great nephews and everyone he touched. He was a dash of love to everyone. There wasn't a road, restaurant, or beverage establishment he visited that he didn't make a friend. He was known for his friendliness and never hesitated to let people know that he loved them. He was "Reverend Devern" always sharing the good word, Remember the "Dash"; Placed between the years you live, from the beginning to the end. This is the time we are given on earth, so live it well my friend. Dash – DID JUST THAT.
Devern is survived by a son Steven Watkins, Billings, Montana, and daughter Courtney (Kyle) Van Zee, Miller, South Dakota two grandchildren, Cambree Van Zee, and Quinn Watkins, one brother, David Peck, Pierre; his niece Billie Jo Peck Steffen, Pierre, his nephew John Peck, New Underwood, niece Amanda (Dusty) Carroll, Pierre; four great-nephews, Blake Berger, Blade Steffen, Dalton & Dayson Carroll; his extended family includes Dennis Hanson, Bryan (Delynn) Hanson, Fort Pierre, and their children Chase & Timber Rose; his special friend Dianne Rheborg, Woonsocket, SD and her grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents Luvern "LC" & Delora "Babe" Peck of Pierre.
