Dewey Murriel Holtsclaw, 85, of Roan Mountain, was peacefully called home on Friday, November 12, following an extended illness.
A native of Carter County and a son of the late Brownlow Walter Holtsclaw and Arthene Mabelle Shell Holtsclaw, Murriel was also preceded in death by the love of his life, wife of 64 years, Ellen Marie Holtsclaw, and beloved daughter, Janet Marie Holtsclaw.
Murriel was born on December 5, 1935 in Elizabethton. After attending Cloudland High School and graduating from the Knoxville Barber College, he practiced as a barber in Clinton, Elizabethton and Roan Mountain for much of his life and into retirement.
He was a proud resident of Roan Mountain, taking great pride in serving his local community with two six-year terms on the Carter County Board of Education as well as 12 years as Constable for Carter County’s second district of Roan Mountain and Tiger Valley.
An avid sportsman, fisher and hunter, he was a member of the High Country Bass Club and Watauga Smallmouth Club, and a successful fly-tier. He loved old westerns, gardening, and hunting and fishing trips with his sons, relatives and friends. He also enjoyed watching Atlanta Braves baseball and rooting for the Tennessee Volunteers, Tennessee Titans and Cloudland Highlanders. Most of all he greatly enjoyed the company of his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and close friends.
Murriel was of the Freewill Baptist faith and a former member of the Boundless Love gospel trio.
Along with his parents, wife and daughter, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Tracy Holtsclaw and Leroy Holtsclaw, and three sisters, Faye Largent, Ruby Jean Carnett and Geraldine Edwards.
