DeVerl was born in Dacoma, Okla., to Henry Paris and Mary Katherine Murrow and passed away Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

He attended Red Bird Rural Grade School in Dacoma and graduated from Alva High School.

He and Luana moved to Enid in 1996, where he worked for the Enid News & Eagle for 14 years, retiring due to illness.

He enjoyed fishing and camping at various lakes in Oklahoma and Colorado.
