Cory M. Hewitt Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Stewart, Tennessee

Cory M. Hewitt was easy to recognize during college football games. When the horn sounded to signal the end of the second quarter, Hewitt scrambled to unstrap his shoulder pads, grabbed his trombone and joined the band on the field for the halftime show. When the final note sounded, Hewitt strapped on the pads again for the second half. "That's what a lot of people will remember him for," said Raymond Hewitt, his father. "That was Cory. He did it all." Hewitt, 26, of Stewart, Tenn., died Dec. 21 in an attack on a mess hall near Mosul. He was based at Fort Polk. Hewitt graduated cum laude in 2001 from West Liberty State College in West Virginia. "He loved to read. When you watched 'Jeopardy!' with him, he'd beat the contestants on the show. I'd always say, 'How did you know that?'" Raymond Hewitt remembered. Cory Hewitt also is survived by his mother, Judy. Raymond Hewitt said his son's last contact with his family was an e-mail to his sister. "Most of the letter was about how busy he was and how he got to watch the Steelers-Giants game. He was critiquing the game," he said. "That sounds like Cory."

I'm an Air Force Disabeled Veteran and a proud son of Retired Master Sergant. But more importantly I am SPC.Corey Hewitt oldest cousin, and I got a chance to be his friend and hang out with him when he and his family where stationed with my dad and his family at Fort Knox, KY. SPC. Hewitt was a smart funny kind helpful young man. I'm honored to call him my brother in arms and my friend whom I miss very much. I pray that my cousins, his brother and sister are doing well, and that his mom and...

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about...
