Paul Dewaine Keylon

Paul Dewaine "Toe" Keylon, of Roane County, Tennessee, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Dewaine was a graduate of Kingston High School, where he proudly played offensive line tackle on the football team. He was remembered for kicking the winning field goal against Loudon in 1973, helping secure Kingston's only championship season that year. Friends and loved ones affectionately knew him by his nickname, "Toe."

He loved spending time at the beach, cherished his family above all else, and attended White Oak Baptist Church. His kindness, humor, and dedication to those he loved will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Catherine Wilson; his father, Ted Keylon; his brother, Bobby Miller; grandparents, John and Bernice Wilson; and uncle, Buddy Wilson.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Debbie Keylon; stepdaughter, Amber (Blake) Hooker; stepson, Jordan Wiley; father, Ted "Mert" Keylon; brother, Mark "DeDe" Keylon; grandchildren, Bailey, Gunner, Mason, and Tyson; sister-in-law, Cathy (Gary) Cain; brothers-in-law, David (Jamie) Jenkins and Benny (Debbie) Jenkins; very special aunt, Mary Wilson; half-sister, Pam (Sam) Martin; along with many extended family members and friends.
