David Wright Newby, a Panama City Beach resident for 47 years, died on Sept. 3, 2009. He was 74 years old.
Mr. Newby was born in Dothan, Ala., on Oct. 3, 1935 to Mansel and Mae Merritt Newby.
Mr. Newby relocated to Panama City in 1962 working for Lewis Bear Distribution Company for many years. In 1973, he and his wife, Melva Bowers Newby, opened Newby's Convenience Store and Gift Shop, catering to and building on the tourism industry that was just beginning in Panama City Beach.
