Randy Bewley Dies After Heart Attack
Funeral arrangements confirmed.
It is with great sadness that we report local musician Randy Bewley passed away shortly before 5 p.m. this afternoon. As we reported earlier, Bewley suffered from a heart attack on Monday evening while driving down Barber Street and lost control of his van. The members of Pylon released the following statement on their Facebook page this evening:
Today, our bandmate and brother passed away at a little before 5 p.m. with his family and friends at his side. He will be missed, even as we celebrate his life and creativity. His guitar sound was as special as he was and always will be. Randy's guitar work defined not only a generation of sound but Randy himself. His visual art, painting and photos, combined with his signature sound formed a loose set of boundaries that helps understand him. His quiet devotion to family and friends will become a benchmark for those he leaves behind.
We will be publishing a tribute to Randy in our paper next week. If you would like to share your remembrances of Randy and his amazing role in our community, feel free to post your comments here or email them directly to me at music@flagpole.com. Photos are also accepted and appreciated.
Just confirmed: Calling hours will run from 6– 8 p.m. at the Bernstein Funeral Home (3195 Atlanta Highway) on Friday, Feb. 27.
Funeral services are scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church at 498 Prince Avenue.
