About Augie Charles Devenere Obituary
AUGUST DEVENERE, 50 August Charles “Augie” Devenere, age 50, of Coeur d’Alene died June 14, 2003. He was born October 17, 1952 in Spokane, WA. He grew up and graduated from high school in Spokane, and then graduated from Eastern Washington University. He moved to Tacoma where he worked as a cameraman for King 5 news. He returned to Spokane and was working for Abacus when he met his future wife, Wendy McKay. Augie relocated to Coeur d’Alene and began working for Imagistics. He taught skiing for ten years, was a member of the Hayden Chamber of Commerce, the Eagles Lodge, a PSIA member, and was president of the Hayden Lake Rotary. Augie enjoyed snow skiing and mountain biking with his friend Barry Feeley, and he never left home without his camera. Augie frequently volunteered in the community with a happy-go-lucky attitude and a smile on his face. He loved cooking, computers, photography, and helping others. All who knew him appreciated his charismatic personality and love of people. The void that his death has left will be felt deeply by all. Augie is survived by his wife, Wendy at home; sons, Gus of Salem, OR and Anthony of Farmington, IN; a daughter, Annamarie of Farmington, IN; stepchildren, Tarah and Tracy; his parents, Michael and Ann Devenere of Spokane, WA; a brother, Michael J.

Friday at the Coeur d’Alene Church of the Nazarene. The family prefers memorials to the Hayden Lake Rotary Club, P.O. Box 115, Hayden, ID 83835.
