Dwight Nelson Conley, 71, of Perryville died Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020 in Danville. Born February 1,1949, he was the son of the late Arbie and Arcie Arnett Conley and the husband of Linda Webb Conley. Dwight and Linda celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Feb. 21st.

Dwight was a member of Doctors Fork Baptist Church and a decorated Vietnam Veteran having served with the United States Marine Corp where he was awarded The Purple Heart.

Being very active with the Boyle County Marching Rebels for two generations, Dwight enjoyed his time as a band dad and considered all the band kids as his own.

He was a very giving person and truly loved everyone. He was a true friend and go to person.  He would go above and beyond to help someone in need including letting people live rent free, donating cars to those who were down on their luck, and giving generous tips to waitresses he felt needed a little extra help. He routinely checked on his friends, and they knew he was only a phone call away. Dwight has never known a stranger and called everyone his friend. Most of his friends, he considered family.

In addition to his wife, Linda, he is survived by his son and his wife, Jeff and Tiffany Conley, of Nicholasville; his daughter and her husband, Kimberly and Aaron Jones, of Danville; his five grandchildren: Jordan and Piper Conley, Phoebe Stocker, and Morgan and Matthew Jones; his sister and her husband, Debra and James Wilmot, of Lancaster; and his brother, David Conley, of Texas. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews and his beloved dogs, Willie and Molly.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, A.J. Conley.

To celebrate Dwight's life, there will be a casual, outdoor, socially distanced celebration remembering the life of Dwight N. Conley. The family will be receiving friends Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020 from 12:00 until 7:00 p.m. at the H.P. Bottom House, 1438 Hayes-Mayes Road, Perryville, Kentucky.
