Markland Funeral Home
Chief DAVID PAUL HEWITT, 49, of Florence Indiana passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday February 13 in a car accident in Carrollton Kentucky.
David was born in Lawrenceburg Indiana on April 9, 1969 to Paul and Rosalie “Rosie” (Lawson) Hewitt. He was a 1987 graduate of Rising Sun High School. He went on to attend Vincennes University and Indiana Police Academy where he graduated with a degree in law enforcement.
David was born and raised in Rising Sun Indiana and after a short stint away at school and in other
departments in Southeastern Indiana, he returned to his roots in 1998. His loyalty to his small corner of
the world is unrivaled.
He served southeastern Indiana as a law enforcement officer for 27 years at the Switzerland County
Sheriff's Office, the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office, the Lawrenceburg Police Department and the Rising
Sun Police Department, joining Rising Sun in 1998 and becoming its police chief in 2004.
David was the loving father to two children. He was a devoted Dad from the start, always putting his children first in all aspects of his life. He loved being a Dad, and that was evident in his blog entries, “Along the Trail” articles, and Facebook posts.
On October 14, 2017 David married Donna (Taylor) Hewitt. It was a love story for the ages, one that
began their junior year of high school. As they graduated and went on to college, they went their separate
ways but eventually found their way back to each other and were reunited in marriage 30 years later.
Through this marriage David gained two “bonus” children, Jake and Sydney, who he adored dearly.
David was an avid outdoors man. In his spare time he could be found hunting, fishing, shooting archery,
and even making sketches of the outdoors. He also spent time helping his wife, Donna, at her horse farm.
He was Vice President, and soon to be elected President, of Compton Traditional Bowhunters. Through
the organization he impacted many lives and gained many friendships.
David is survived by his loving wife, Donna (Taylor) Hewitt of Florence; his two children; his
parents Paul and Rosie Hewitt of Rising Sun; sister Denise (Russell) Taylor of St Leon; sister Lisa
(David) Williams of Rising Sun. He is also survived by his wife’s children Jake and Sydney Taylor, as well
as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Funeral services will be at 11 am Wednesday February 20 at the Rising Sun High School. Visitation will be 2 pm-7 pm on Tuesday February 19 at the high school.
