Devlin Zane Bankes

Devlin Zane (Stinton) Bankes, age 27 passed away at his home in Gillette of unknown causes. Services are pending at this time.Devlin, known to his friends as Zane, was born November 14, 1985 to the late Jerry D. Stinton and Marty (Frye) Stinton in Douglas, WY. After the death of Devlin's father, Marty married Ed Guseman and Devlin called Ed dad. Devlin attended schools in Douglas, WY, Victor, ID, and Wright, WY. Devlin was a talented athlete, artist, writer, and singer. His singing often moved people beyond tears. Devlins humor was mischievous and very much out of the box. Often you could tell he was up to something by a devious gleam in his eyes which, although it was irritating, will be sorely missed.Devlin enjoyed spending time with his daughter, Alexis Tru, whom he called "Pookey". He enjoyed roaming the hills, caving, fabricating, camping, swimming and most anything to do outdoors. He spent his spare time listening to music, reading books, drawing and working out. Devlin was considered a "gentle giant" where his large stature housed his large heart and soul. His size and strength was never a factor when it came to making friends. Most people were friends to him before they even shook his hand. Devlin had various jobs, but most recently was employed with C&H Well Service in Gillette on a rig which he loved. Devlin is survived by his daughter, Alexis Tru of Sheridan, WY, parents, Ed and Marty Guseman of Wright, WY, brothers, Uriah Bankes of Douglas, Nicholas (Thea) Guseman of CA, Adam (Jessica) Guseman of WA, sisters, Spring Stinton of Douglas, and Jerri D. Stinton of WA, maternal grandparents, Darrel (Barb) Frye of Lusk, WY and Flora (Russell) Bourne of Douglas, numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins residing in Ohio, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry D. Stinton, paternal grandparents Harold and Margaret Stinton and step-grandparents Earl and Helen Guseman.A memorial has been established in his name and can be sent to the Walker Funeral Home, 410 Medical Arts Ct., Gillette, WY 82716.
