Dallas Realtors Lose Their Rowlett Homes in Saturday’s Devastating Storms
Share News:
This is what’s left of Joseph Hewey’s house. Joseph is an agent with William Davis Realty in Uptown.
“Homeless in a matter of minutes” he wrote on FaceBook, then later this note:
Thank you all for your prayers and post so glad me chris, and or dog abby is ok rain would not us get to the house today and not much to salvage just feel so helpless. Thank you Rick Davis for taking us shopping so we had more than the close on our back and to Melanee Akens for letting us crash at her house, picking us up and helping our neighbors get out of the rubble.
A Go Fund Me fund has been started for Joseph, and also for JP & Associates agent Justin Blackburn, whose home looks like this (here is Justin’s website):
Please try and help these fine agents rebuild their homes and get their lives back together, along with the others whose homes have been turned upside down by this storm.

Candy, no disrespect to those who lost so much in the tornadoes, but why do certain people get publicity and some do not? I’m not a known realtor, or anyone’s bf in Dallas, Texas. Guess that’s why? I hope the two family’s you spoke of have gained their security and homes once again.
April 6,2015 at 6212 Lindsley ave , the day after Easter. Today we live in a falling down rat infested shed. Three baths in a period of 9 months. I work with my partner reselling … whatever we have. Until the truck broke down we did good. Red cross gave us a total of maybe $1000 , not all at once. I have disabilities I was born with because my dad fought in Vietnam and got drenched with agent orange. My partner now has huge draining holes in her arm pits and i get the job of making her scream in pain when it comes time to drain them. Now my partner on the other hand had at one time a life. She was given the key to grapevine Texas. Losing her mom she lost her life. Her mom was a very successful realtor . She left a trust for my partner and her brother. Needles to say soon after we lost our home we found out my partners brother and others stole probably million dollars or more from her. Nothing can be done. So we live day to day wondering what can happen next.
My point in all this ? Just really need to talk to someone. But what caught my attention was Rick mentioned his pet Abby. Most would not of included the pet. We are in this situation because we helped out a homeless person. After not paying rent and he was asked to leave, he burned our home/ business down. Some deal huh? From day one we could of stayed at shelters etc. …
However, non would accept our beloved Stella. She was alone at home when the fire happened. A neighbor kicked in the door to save not only her life but the precious 11 little souls she had inside her. Today we may be sick, flesh falling off, hungry and down but I would never change the decision to give up our child, Stella. She is a 6 year old boxer/ American bulldog mix. And she knows love.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Phillips
