Dewey Allen Montgomery, Jr., aged 74, passed away on February 1, 2024. He was a beloved

and with his wife hiked many miles of trails in the Texas Hill country. He was a skilled
marksman, and as a member of the Wild Bunch won many skeet shooting contests.
Dewey’s warm smile and gentle temperament put people at ease. When he wasn’t going off
about bonehead plays and coaching during Astros games, he was a joy to be around.

(Lonnie) and Elisa Pittman (Clint), and his grandchildren, Brittany Dean (Shawna), Skyler
Sandlin, Cade Pittman (Lauren), Grant Pittman and Garryn Pittman, and great-grandson

flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Youth Camp Fund at New Life
