Born thoughtful and courteous, he waited until December 26, 1970, to make his appearance into the world, so as not to interrupt his mother’s doctor on a Christmas holiday. He was truly a gift from day one with his big, kind, gentle and loving heart.

Born to Robert and Gayle McEwen of Miles City, MT, he was perfectly content to be doted on by his big sister Michelle.

In early childhood he became a traveler due to his father’s career, where eventually they settled in Billings, MT. He would also go on to attend school in places such as Anchorage, AK, and Wallace and Coeur d'Alene, ID.

Longing for small-town life again, he moved back to Miles City, MT, where several years later in 2010, a chance encounter would lead him to meet his soulmate Deann.

After marrying in 2012 in Las Vegas, he and Deann would settle into the best years of their lives. Finding each other was a gift and they were truly happy.

Through sickness and health, especially through the last year, their love and devotion never wavered. Their love was unconditional and powerful.
