Born on July 25, 1966, in Pittsfield, Mass., to Robert Paul Devlin and the former Patricia Radevicz, he grew up in Bridgeport, Conn., and graduated from Stratford High School.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters, Hali Devlin and Shana Devlin, both of Montauk, a grandson, Holden Robert Baigent, his mother, Patricia Altieri of Ocala, Fla., two sisters, Maureen Kingston and Gayle Aaronson, both of Montauk, three nieces, and three nephews.

A memorial service will be held at a date to be announced in the spring.
