Dewey Dee Nabours, 76, of Olaton, Ky., passed away Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2015, at his residence. He was born Oct. 14, 1938, in Fairview Community, Olaton, Ky., to the late Willie Nabours and Finis Elizabeth Young Nabours.
He was a 1959 graduate of Horse Branch High School. To know Dewey was to love him. He always had a wonderful outlook on life and enjoyed every job he had and loved to make people laugh with a funny story. One of his favorite sayings was “anything worth doing is worth doing right”. He was an active member of Cedar Grove Baptist Church and loved his church family. Dewey loved farming and was a great cattleman, loved horses, four-wheeling, basketball and baseball. He will be greatly missed and we can imagine him riding a horse around heaven caring for God’s cattle. Happy trails, Dewey.
Survivors include his wife of 51 years, Linda Embry Nabours, of Olaton; one son, William (Christie) Nabours, of Olaton; five grandchildren, Tate, Dustin, Bradley, Jacob and Katelynn; siblings, Quinton (Mary) Nabours, Lou (Charles) Barnard, Raleigh (Rita) Nabours, Blenda (Eugene) Filback, Paul (Joyce) Embry, JoAnna (Lonnie Jr.) Phelps, Phillip (Sue) Embry, Larry (Elda) Embry and Gary (Cindy) Embry as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at Cedar Grove Baptist Church, 8086 Cedar Grove Road, Olaton, Ky., with Rev. Phillip David Embry officiating. Burial will follow Cedar Grove Baptist Church Cemetery. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of the funeral at the church.
