The close-knit community of Perry, Florida, is joined in a state of “profound and sincere mourning” following the passing of Devin Eugene Kinsey, affectionately known to many as “Kinzwall,” on April 23, 2026. At just 36 years old, Devin was a “bright light” whose adventurous spirit and unwavering commitment to his loved ones defined his life. His departure has left an irreplaceable void in Taylor County, where he was respected as a skilled professional, a devoted father, and a friend who was always ready to lend a helping hand.
Born and raised in Perry, Devin was a master of his craft in the industrial maintenance industry. As a passionate welder, he took immense pride in his work, but his true mechanical genius shone through in his hobby of building and tearing apart trucks. His enthusiasm for the outdoors—from fishing local waters to the high-energy excitement of mud bogging—reflected his joyful and fearless approach to life. To those who knew him, Devin was a “true adventurer at heart” who found his greatest solace in nature and the company of those he held dear.
Above all professional and personal pursuits, Devin’s heart belonged to his family. He was a devoted father to his daughter, Kiley Kinsey, and a beloved son to Angelia Holton. His relationships with his siblings, especially his sister and “bestie” Paris, and his brothers Justin and Cade, were the pillars of his world. He was the fun-loving uncle to several nieces and nephews, creating a legacy of “warmth, laughter, and kind spirit” that will resonate in their hearts forever.
