 Dwight was born in Pleasant Grove, Ohio, to parents, Phyllis Hutchinson and Charles Earl Brown. He grew up in New Athens, Ohio, and joined the Air Force in 1954, where he served for four years. During that time, he met his beloved wife, Beatrice Abel in Colorado Springs and married on May 31, 1958. Together they raised their three children in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After leaving the Air Force, Dwight began a career selling insurance and worked for AFLAC for over 40 years. His true passion in life was hunting, fishing, and camping. He often shared stories of his many adventures during hunting and camping trips. Over the last 30 years, Dwight and Bea enjoyed their home near the Conejos River in Antonito, Colorado. He loved playing cards and sharing his wildlife camera pictures that showed animals that had come near their home. He also loved driving around on his zero-turn mower, even when the grass didn’t need to be trimmed. In the final days of his life, Dwight shared his last words of advice, sang his final song that him and Bea loved to dance to, and told everyone how much he loved them. He said, “Don’t hate anyone, only love. Love everybody, and if you did something wrong, make it right.” Dwight’s love and the bond he shared with Bea exemplified the power of forgiveness, patience, laughter, and love. A memorial service will be held at Rivera’s Funeral Home on April 10th at 11:30am with a reception following.
