Dev served in the US Air Force, and after serving his country, he worked for the State of Washington Department of Transportation as a Field Technician. He finished his career as a hazmat driver for Okay Trucking. Throughout the fall, Dev cheered on his beloved Pittsburg Steelers and Washington State Cougars, and despised anything purple and gold! He was often seen at Cheney High sporting events supporting his children and grandchildren. He was impressive on his Harley motorcycle and enjoyed tooling around in his vintage Chevy pickup. Dev enjoyed time with his son fishing and hunting. He loved debating on any subject, and brought laughter, generosity, and passion to the lives of his loved ones.

Dev has two Great-grandchildren who tickled his funny bone, Tate Heuschkel and Ava Heuschkel. In addition, he was loved by Sisters-in-law and Brothers-in-law of Nebraska and South Carolina, cousins, niece, nephew, and friends. He was preceded in death by his father Clarence “Bud” Stutsman of Walla Walla, Washington.
