David “Dewey” Eugene Weaverling
May 15, 1952 - April 17, 2023
Newport - Dewey, 70, died in a motor vehicle accident just outside of
Newport on the morning of April 17, 2023. Dewey was born in Brownwood,
Texas and was one of four children to Martin Edwin Weaverling and Mary
Virginia Skiles, both predeceased. Dewey served in the US Navy as an
aviation mechanic aboard the USS Enterprise during the Vietnam War. He
was very proud of his career as a mechanic at the Marine Science Center
in Newport, working on cars, and repairing fitness equipment. He could
fix just about anything and easily figure out how things worked. Dewey
loved the outdoors, and spent hours walking with his dogs, especially
his white husky “Ghost”. He also enjoyed flying large remote-controlled
airplanes and riding his BMW motorcycle. He made amazing ginger cookies
with big pieces of candied ginger! Earth Funeral will be handling final
arrangements for organic internment. Per David’s wishes, there will be
no memorial services.
