Henry “Tweet” Dismuke

August 24, 1944 – May 4, 2026

Henry Dismuke, a man of profound kindness, quiet strength, and impeccable style, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2026, at the age of 81. Born in the Prescott / Hope area of Arkansas, Henry carried the values of his Southern roots with him throughout a life defined by service and steady devotion.

A proud alumnus of Bishop College in Dallas, Henry’s college years were marked by his initiation into Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. It was among his fraternity brothers that he earned the lifelong nickname “Tweet,” a name that would follow him through decades of friendship and brotherhood.

Following his education, Henry honorably served his country during the Vietnam war before embarking on a dedicated career with the United States Postal Service. A quiet and private man, Henry was known for his dignified and quiet presence, his sense of style and his genuine care and interest in other people.

While he found comfort in the nostalgia of old Western movies, Henry was never one to be left behind by modern times. He had a keen interest in the "latest and greatest," whether it was staying up to date with the newest Apple technology or admiring his latest car. He balanced these interests with a well-known love for sweets—a simple, delightful indulgence that reflected his warm nature.

For 30 years, Henry shared a life of deep mutual devotion with his wife, Erlinda “Bebe” Dismuke, whose loving care was a testament to their enduring bond coupled with her dogged devotion to ensuring his health was a priority despite facing numerous medical issues.

Henry’s legacy of warmth will be carried on by his wife, his brother, Jimmy, Jimmy’s wife Jane, Jimmy’s daughter, Inge and his Filipino family who adored their “Tito Henry.” Henry will be missed by many friends and his beloved fraternity brothers who will fondly remember his calm smile and peaceful spirit.
