Dewey Creston Lightsey (1936-2023): Born of Johnnie Marie Lightsey (Wright) and Roy Frederick Lightsey in the small

town of De Kalb, Texas.

Graduating from Luling High School in 1954, he went on to the University of Texas at Austin, and later to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos.

Engineering was his first academic love, and studying Eschatology was his second. Dewey was as sharp as a tack even until the end, and keenly knew of his impending and rapidly arriving meeting with our Lord. He was happiest working on his recently printed book, "The Esoteric Eschatology of Man." This book took him nearly 40+ years to write, and finally, finally, finally it was collated together this summer and printed in September; and to the delight in his eye, this was his final epitaph to this World. There are many stories to tell of this man, but books and books cannot contain the life that he had. He held in there as anyone could and died of simply…'old age' in Fredericksburg, Texas. This man will be missed, thought of, and the valued time with him will be relished.

He was a beloved brother, son, father, and friend. He has one surviving brother Kenneth Erwin Lightsey, and two surviving sons John Creston Lightsey and Ross Frederick Lightsey, Senior, as well as four grandchildren: Christopher David Osborne, Lauren EF Niles (Lightsey), Leanne Lynn Lightsey, and Ross Frederick Lightsey, Junior. He also had a beloved and most-trusted daughter-in-law, Dr. April Joy Lightsey. Actually, he trusted her more so than anyone else. Nevertheless, we all have gleaned quite a bit of wisdom from this loving and caring man who walked the Earth for 87 years
