Charles Kemp Devereux, 90, of Berryville, VA, died May 4, 2016, at the Blue Ridge Hospice Inpatient Care Center, Winchester VA. Mr. Devereux was born in Baltimore, MD; and spent his childhood in Chevy Chase MD. He was the fourth of nine children of Joseph and Helen Devereux. Mr. Devereux was a graduate of Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, MD; and a graduate of Georgetown University, Washington, DC. He enlisted in the Navy's officer candidate training program during World War II, hoping to be a fighter pilot. But a heart condition resulted in an honorable medical discharge. In June of 1948, Mr. Devereux married Dolores Payette in Washington DC. Their early years were spent in Georgetown and Chevy Chase. Mr. Devereux began his career as a small businessman, the founder of Blairs TV, which had locations in Chevy Chase and Wheaton, MD; Alexandria, VA; Washington, D.C; and eventually, Bethesda MD. In 1964, he worked as an advance man for the Barry Goldwater for President campaign. As his family grew to include eight children, Mr. Devereux and his wife looked for property large enough to handle children, pets and horses. They bought Riverside Farm in Berryville, VA, in 1967. This was to be their home for nearly 50 years. He was active in thoroughbred racing and was a member of WV Thoroughbred Breeders Association. In 1987, Mr. Devereux sold his business and retired to be a fulltime farmer, breeder, father and grandfather. He was active in his faith and a daily communicant at the Holy Cross Abbey.
