Our thoughts and prayers to you in the passing of Dewey. What a good person he was! I will always remember him as fun, caring, polite, and a good card player, too. My Mom always enjoyed her time with him, as Dew was always so polite and thoughtful. His brothers should find peace in knowing that they helped make the last few difficult years of his life positive, productive, and meaningful. Dewey always marched to his own drummer, and he will always be remembered with love and smiles.

I remember going to Hi Q with some friends early in recovery. Dewey was such a welcoming kind person. So sorry for your loss!

I only knew Dewey for a few months but in that short time, we talked nearly every day. His messages were wise and helped me in my life. I learned enough about his life to have the greatest respect for the man, his wok, his knowledge, his sensitivity and caring. He had a profound impact on my life and I will miss him deeply.

Dewey and I were friends in High School and I have not seen him since then. He was a very special young man and loved by many people. Rest in peace my friend, God Bless your family and help them through their grieving!
