Billy Wayne Hewlette, 81, passed away Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at the Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. He grew up on a farm in Thaxton, MS. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged, he moved to Houston, TX, then Memphis, TN where he worked for Allied Systems for 30 years driving a truck. After retiring he moved back to Thaxton. He was an absolute joy to be around. He was a jokester, never ever met a stranger and always had a smile on his face. He would absolutely give you the shirt off his back. He will be greatly missed.
