Thank you for your comment Suga. I didn’t know him at all until after he died but I was very touched by his story. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who feel the loss of such a remarkable young life.

I just stumbled upon your blog. Thanks for sharing Deweys life with your readers. He also played bass at my church every Sunday, and it was so shocking to hear about his death. He definitely left a space that cannot be filled.

Thanks for the comment Nina From what I read he toured with Lauryn Hill, and played with the Kev Choice Ensemble as well as the rap group The Coup. Such a tragic story of this talented young man.

I can’t even respond on the actual life of Dewey…it is truly painful to give thought to senseless acts of violence. I have nothing more to add that’s any different from the cry of the hearts that have already posted…

Oh shoot…so, the band he played with wasn’t the rap group The Coup? I don’t know these folk…sound dope though.

Highroadism thank you so much for the comment. I was so touched by his story. Sometimes we hear about things happening to people and they become faceless. When that happens be become numb to these tragedies. But, learning about the people..for me..always leaves me with something that puts some perspective in my own life. I find it important that the memory of people like Dewey lives on and for the person/people responsible for this, they need to know who they robbed the world of. Maybe it’ll move them to do the right thing.

Toya B.

Far too frequently someone leaves the scene without any notice. Thank you for the way you cause us to stop and see things (and people) a little more clearly.
