Ewell Wayne Weddington

Mr. Ewell Wayne Weddington of Bryant, Arkansas, left this Earth on angel's wings, March 25, 2012. He was born December 3, 1948, in Forrest City, and was the son of Raymond and Marlene Weddington. Ewell was a man of many accomplishments. After serving his country in the Air Force, he went on to work for Gulf Life Insurance. Ewell was known for his likable personality, his never ending quest to find laughter in his day, and never meeting a stranger on his many encounters throughout life. The people in the community of St. Francis County grew to know him as the "Little Debbie Man," as he ran a successful route for over 20 years. Ewell went on to invest and develop many more business ventures. Ewell moved to Little Rock in 2001, married his wife Sheila, and opened up what is known today at the Tobacco Superstore in West Little Rock. Ewell continued to build his tobacco business, where no customer was ever a stranger and people affectionately sought out a handshake and a hello. It is with great sadness that we have lost Ewell to this world. He is survived by his devoted wife Sheila, his brothers; Larry, and wife, Linda, and Darrel, his daughters; Robyn, and husband, Wayne, and Keri, and husband, Chad, three step daughters and son's in law, 6 grandsons, and one granddaughter. He will be remembered by countless friends and extended family as a kind and generous friend. His laughter and funny chats will be greatly missed. Services for Ewell will be held at Stevens Funeral Home Chapel, 10 a.m., Thursday. Visitation will be Wednesday evening, 6 till 8 p.m., at Stevens Funeral Home with Stevens Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Burial will be 3 p.m., Thursday, at the Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock. You may log on to stevensfuneralhome.net for the on line registry.
