Devin Lee Waggoner
1961-2024
Devin Lee Waggoner came into the world on May 3, 1961, and was the first born, and only surviving son, of Glenda Lee (West) Waggoner and Donald Lee Waggoner. Born in Okmulgee, he was raised in Oklahoma City and graduated from Guthrie High School. He was actively involved in the academic bowl in high school and college. In 1983 he graduated with a BA in psychology and 1990 he received his masters in education both from Central State University in Edmond (now UCO). Devin lived a short time in Tulsa, but eventually ended up back in Oklahoma City.
In 1996 he met his wife, Jenifer Leigh Waggoner, while working for Hertz car rentals. They were married in 1999, and recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. While Jenifer was Devin’s legal wife, his first true love was Aunt Kay-Kay. At her wedding to Jim McKee, little 5 year old Devin pleaded through sobs, “Please Aunt Kay-Kay, don’t marry him! I’ll marry you when I grow up!” Needless to say, Uncle Jim wasn’t accepted for quite some time.
In October 2004, Devin went to work as a Disability Determination Specialist for the state of Oklahoma, where he recently celebrated his 20th anniversary.
Devin and his dad, Don, enjoyed watching football and basketball on television. He believed in only those two seasons, everything else was preparation for football or basketball. Devin surely bled crimson and cream since it was OU or nothing!
Devin was an active member of the Oakwood Church of Christ and established many close friends and extended family members within the congregation. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers for Devin’s funeral, the family asks for donations to be made to the Oklahoma City Zoo in remembrance of Devin Waggoner.
Graveside services will be held Saturday, November 16, 2024, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Gracelawn Cemetery in Edmond, OK.

Devin you sure will be missed. I remember all the times you wheeled me around. All the times you had me clean out your car and all the change you let me have. Letting me listen to you play your guitar only if I was quiet. And will always remember playing games on the weekends especially the game trouble that I was very good at. And of course all the trips to the zoo we took. All the fun memories of all us cousins getting together. I love you very much and you are and will always be missed.
Dear Devin. I only found out this morning that you had passsed. I will miss you and all the funny bantering with you at work. I know in my heart you are with Christ and I have no doubt He blessed you with great humor.
I had first met Devin at. DDD when he transferred from being an examiner into the scheduling unit. I was assigned to train him and from that day forward he was such a fun person to be around.
Dear Devin, it has been a pleasure working with you in the Scheduling Department, you will be greatly missed, Rest in peace my friend.
Devin, I know you are a man of God and conviction. I never questioned anything you told me. I know you are in the presence of God, and I look forward to seeing you again someday.
Dear Devin, my heart is sad to know you are no longer on this earth with us, but so happy to know we will see you again in Heaven. I will never forget meeting you when we both began working at DDS in 2004. We really had a neat training class. Your kindness, even temper, and gentle spirit were always a comfort and stabilizing factor for us all. You made a difference in this world my friend. My life is richer because our paths crossed. Blessings to your family.
