member of the Fair Havens Church of Christ, former commissioner and avid
supporter of the Newbern Dixie Youth baseball league, and a former member
of the Dyer County High School Band Booster Club. Until he became

was also Dent who could be found at spring band drills and at all the
band booster meetings. His face was very familiar at band functions
wherever the Choctaws performed. He always had a smile on his face and
was always helping others.
