Loy Gene Dewey

of Cabot, AR

September 2, 1951 - January 24, 2018

Loy Gene Dewey, 66, of Clinton, Arkansas passed away, Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Loy was born September 2, 1951 to G C and Shirley Dewey of Clinton, Arkansas. He graduated from Scotland High School in 1969. Loy then served in the Arkansas National Guard and later graduated from Arkansas Law Enforcement Academy. He went on to become the Chief of Police in Clinton, Arkansas and owned and operated Loy Dewey Trucking and Excavation Company, also in Clinton. He was a member of Patterson Lodge #111, actively participated in The Clinton Jaycees, and professionally served as the President of the Arkansas Association of Chiefs of Police. He lived a life of service and his heart was always the happiest when he was helping people in need. He loved to laugh, feel loved and make others feel loved, to lend a kind ear or a hug to someone he felt needed him. He was always a loving father, son, brother, public servant, and above all, a child of God. God and his family mattered the most to him. His genuine and giving spirit was felt by all who knew him.

Loy is preceded in death by his parents, G.C. and Shirley Dewey of Clinton, Arkansas.

Loy is survived by two children, his daughter, Lori Ann Lindsey and husband Gregory Lindsey of Washington, D.C. and his son Lane Housley and wife Nikki Housley of Greenbrier, Arkansas; their mother Susan Dewey-Kissinger of Conway, Arkansas, and his granddaughter Kenadee Faith Housley, of Greenbrier Arkansas; Two siblings, sister Yolanda Tipton and husband John Tipton of Little Rock, Arkansas, and brother Gary Dewey and wife Jan Dewey of Fairfield Bay, Arkansas, along with many nieces, nephews, and beloved extended family.

A celebration of his life service will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, February 3, 2018 at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home, 1902 Highway 65 South, Clinton, Arkansas, 72031.
