Mr. Devin James Tolbert, age 23, passed away on Friday, September 6th, in a tragic car accident. Devin was born in Bulloch County on December 4th, 2000, to David Tolbert and Armanda Alojado.

He attended Brooklet Elementary and later graduated from Cornerstone Christian Academy.

Devin worked at Tolbert Concrete for 12 years until his passing.

He enjoyed dog deer hunting, turkey hunting, rabbit hunting, hog hunting and fishing, but above all else, he enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his 2-year-old son and his wife.

He loved to ride his son on the four-wheeler, looking for new spots to hunt and tearing up the dirt road.

He took pride in providing for his family, being a loving daddy, husband and helping anyone that he could, even strangers.

Devin was a dedicated husband, father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, son in-law, brother-in-law and friend. He was so excited for the birth of his second baby boy in four weeks.

Devin was truly a remarkable family man and anyone who met him loved him. If love could have saved him, he would have lived forever.

He is preceded in death by his granddaddy, Willie Gene Bowen; his Memaw and Popa, Helen and Steve Wharton; his Ninny, Francis Floyd; his great-grandfather, J.E. "Dick" Baker; his cousin, Adam Bowen; and his dog, Drake Tolbert.
