Sandy Ferguson

Sandy Ferguson, age 72 of Newcastle, passed away Monday, November 30, 2020.  Sanford Allen Ferguson was born March 31, 1948 in Quanah, Texas, the baby of 4 children born to Doyle Truman Ferguson and Willie Marie (Allen) Ferguson.  When he was yet a young man, the Ferguson family moved to Newcastle.   Sandy was raised a Racer, and a standout for baseball team, and graduated from Newcastle High School with the Class of 1966.  The very next month, on June 13th, Sandy married his longtime sweetheart, Donna Elizabeth Talkington.  Their friendship began in the 7th Grade, and carried all the way through school.  They made their home in Newcastle where together they raised three children, daughters, Joy and JoDee and son, Tom.  Sandy was a hard worker and a great provider, with a great work ethic second to none.  He logged many miles on the open road driving for Roadway Trucking, throughout his 40+ years.   When he wasn’t working, Sandy was probably chasing his kids and grandkids in their various activities and sporting events.  He loved bird dogs and quail hunting and was ever so fond of his best dog, Jack.  Sandy looked forward to coffee with the boys every morning at Wynne’s Feed Store, and often affectionately referred to himself as the “guest speaker”.  He was fun loving and enjoyed a good laugh; he lived and loved hard.  He was a wonderful husband and father, the best grandfather and great grandfather, brother, uncle and a true friend.  
He will be dearly missed!
He was preceded in death by: his parents, Doyle and Willie Marie Ferguson; sister Kay Mason and infant brother, Don Ted Ferguson.
