He formerly attended Aleppo Brethren Church.

Mr. Ewing was considered the neighborhood handyman and enjoyed hunting, fishing and discussing his knowledge of guns.

He was employed as a federal and state certified electrician by Consolidation Coal at Blacksville (W.Va.) Mine 2 for 25 years prior to retiring in 1998 as a maintenance foreman.

On November 9, 1959, he married Joyce Ann Thacker, who survives.

Also surviving are three daughters, Tammy Jo, wife of Rick Watson of Marshall County, Robin, wife of Allen Wells of Wayne Township (Bluff Ridge) and Sunni, wife of Kenny Burnett of St. Clairsville, Ohio; from a previous marriage, a daughter, Wendy Bouvier and a son, Fred A.
