Will Dewey Obituary – Death | Will Dewey Has Died

When I tell y’all ALL the memories I had with Will Dewey were great, I mean they were FANTASTIC. I was privileged enough to meet Will at a High School fishing event in Anderson in 2015. At the time, I had a VERY popular fishing page and was easily recognized at this event. I’ll never forget that Will was the FIRST person to come up to me and introduce himself. We instantly clicked and developed a friendship and not long after that we began planning a fishing trip but due to work and his school schedule we couldn’t really plan anything until the following spring. He invited me up to Lake Wylie one morning and we went and sight fished all day, single handedly some of the most fun I ever had…. Until he hit a wake off a pontoon doing about 65 and catapulted us about 10 ft in the air and I looked over and remember just seeing him smiling with his foot still to the floor while Me, on the other hand, had to clean out my britches I knew from then on, we would have many more adventures. A lot of you remember the wreck that I had in June of 2016. I was going to Lake Hartwell to meet up with him to prefish for a tournament. We all know how that ended up… Will, however decided he was going to salvage a day with me and we went to greenwood that same day to try and get my mind off of things. Fast forward to that weekend and we finished 2nd place and won $500. Another priceless memory! Oh and when HE had to go to the bathroom and we were nowhere near the ramp or anybody that I knew’s house and he said he didn’t have any TP that he left in the truck, I said “How bout them socks on your feet?” With a wide eyed smile he took off for the bushes and came back and said “They gonna think Bigfoot living up here” I laughed so hard I cried that day But boy… lemme just tell y’all… My most insane memory with Will was the morning we fished the Western Carolina University Benefit tournament… It’s April 1st, probably about 20-25 degrees that morning and We pull into the QT outside buster Boyd’s on Wylie, I go get me and him some drinks and snacks while he puts gas in the boat and truck. HOMIE PUT DIESEL IN THE BOAT He realized this after he put about 12 gallons in and he was so upset I just remember coming back to the truck to hear him say “We got a problem.. I… uh… put diesel in the boat…” I didn’t know what to do, so I just told him we will have to put regular gas back in it to dilute it  We went and fished that ENTIRE day and finished 5th out of like 75 boats and NEVER had an issue. Heck we had so much fun, we went back that evening to “run out the rest of the gas” and proceed to catch another 17-18 pounds! That’s just some of the stuff me and him did. Each memory I have with him is and was very special to me. As I sit here with tears rolling down my face, I just know that he was loved by so many people including myself. He will always be my buddy and I’ll always cherish those memories. DeweyStrong
