Dewey's obituary

Dewey Wayne Newsome passed away on December 27, 2023. Dewey, born on February 10, 1959, leaves behind a legacy of laughter and respect, and an impressionable mark on the hearts of those who knew him.

Dewey was the loving partner of Sandra Oliver and the beloved father of his cherished daughter, Stacie Parkinson. He was a doting stepfather to Jessica Quinnelly, and a respected father-in-law to Stephen Quinnelly. His kindness and humor will forever be embedded in the memories of his beloved grandchildren, Kayleb Scarborough, Reba Lee, Dylan Quinnelly, and Amelia-Kaye Quinnelly.

Surviving siblings include his brothers Johnny Newsome and Butch Kent, and his loving sister, Elsie Wiley. Dewey's charismatic personality and jovial nature will continue to resonate within them, reminding them of the strong bond they shared.

Dewey was predeceased by his mother, Sally Newsome, his father, Dewey Newsome, and his dear brother Edward Kent. The love he held for his late brother Bill Newsome is a testament to his devotion to his family.

The Newsome family wishes to express their deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this tough time. In memory of Dewey, let us all extend his legacy of wit and politeness to everyone we meet. His spirit will forever live in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
