Aubrey Dean McEwen (Easy-Money, Frog, Barefoot, Campground, Sonny Boy, and numerous other nicknames), 82, was born June 10, 1937, to Sidney and Winnie McEwen of Jayess. He graduated from Enon High School in 1956. Aubrey married Martha Wicker of Smithdale on August 17, 1957, at Calvary Baptist Church in Smithdale with Bro. James Griffin officiating. Aubrey met Martha at Kellwood Factory, where both of their mothers worked. For Aubrey, it was love at first sight, and after three short months of dating, Martha agreed to marry him (before he had to buy new tires). Aubrey was a well-known, barefoot-playing, knuckle-ball-throwing baseball and softball player whose sense of humor was loved by many. He has been a long-term resident of the Jayess community and attended Calvary Baptist Church in Pricedale. Aubrey owned McEwen's Flea Market and would make anyone a deal there. When told, "Aubrey, you look great", he'd often reply, "nothing's ever been wrong with my looks". If asked how he was doing, he would say, "As my wife tells me", without missing a beat. Even in the shortest of conversations, you would instantly know the love he had for his wife and family. Aubrey Died January 13, 2020, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Aubrey was preceded in death by his parents, Sidney and Winnie McEwen; his sister and brother-in-law, Glenda and Gary Wilson; his infant son, Alvin McEwen; grandson, Carson Tullos; brothers-in-law, J.P. Boyd, Winston Wicker, and Don Barlow; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Emily and Hilery Wicker.
