Dennis Dalton Newby III, age 65, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 14, in his home at Brookston, Texas. He was born August 28, 1953 in Grand Prairie, Texas to Dennis and Dollie Mae.

After high school, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed primarily in Holland. Following his military service, Dennis graduated from Tarrant County College and began his career as an x-ray technician at Grapevine Memorial, spending the majority of his career at Paris Regional Medical Center where he was loved for his patient, light-hearted bedside manner.

Heavy D, as he was affectionately known, will be remembered for his deep belly laughs, love of practical jokes and big heart. A natural born storyteller, Dennis never met a stranger and loved to talk about every subject from politics to fishing. His passion for life was infectious as he shared his love for cooking competitions, motor sports, music and dogs with everyone he met. A truly unique, one-of-a-kind character with a zest for mischievous humor, Dennis left everyone better than he found them.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Dennis and Dollie; daughter-in-law, Stormy and dear friend, Debra Newby.

He is survived by his sons, Shawn, Charles and Narsiso; daughter, Yolanda; and grandkids Johvani, Demian, Alexa, Wesley, Karalynn, Tyler, Lillian, Alexia and Paris.

Visitation is at Fry-Gibbs Funeral Home on Monday, August 19 from 7pm-8pm. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, August 20 at DFW National Cemetery at 9am.
