Dewey was well-known in Antlers not only for his quick wit, but also for his work as a diligent dozer operator and the proud owner of his radiator shop. His dedication to his work was only surpassed by his commitment to his family and friends. He was always ready with a helping hand, a funny joke, or a word of encouragement.

Dewey's legacy continues in his great-grandchildren: Preslea, Lara, Charlea, Addisen, Aidyn, Noah, Allie, Logan, Brea, and Harley. Each of them will carry forward his love for life, his sense of humor, and his undying spirit. In addition to his immediate family, Dewey is also survived by numerous other family members and a host of friends who will miss him dearly.
Dewey was preceded in death by his wife: Lois Hatcher; his parents: John and Oma Hatcher; son: Steve Hatcher; granddaughter: Katy Shipman.
An avid outdoorsman, Dewey found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved fishing and hunting, often sharing his passion with his family and friends.
