Devin J. Lyonnais, 50, of Manchester, passed away after a long illness on June 26, 2026.

He was born in Manchester on October 16, 1975, the son of Daniel and Lois (Johnson) Lyonnais. Devin enjoyed sports throughout his life. As a child he played for West Side Little League, and Manchester Pop Warner Football. Later, he played men's lacrosse and coached his son Alex's lacrosse team sharing his love of the game with the next generation. He was an avid music lover, especially of the group "PHISH" as him and his best friend Fro never missed a show. His love for their music was a source of joy throughout his life.

He spent years in culinary and decided to move on to his passion of brewing beer, working for many years at Kettle Head Brewery. He also experimented with homemade ice cream and started crafting hand-made wooden bowls from blocks of wood. He enjoyed helping others on the river with the docks and always being there when someone needed a hand. He was also a formidable opponent playing Trivial Pursuit. He was a long-time volunteer at the Manchester Soup Kitchen and could be found most Thanksgivings cooking for the homeless

Family members include his parents of Manchester; his son Alex Lyonnais and his wife Brittany of Hillsboro; three grandchildren, Aiden, Aleah, and Easton; two brothers, Justin Lyonnais and his wife Nicole of Goffstown and Jason Lyonnais of Manchester; and uncles, aunts and cousins.
