Sherwood Mitchell “Woody” Blue succumbed to his hard-fought battle against cancer on Friday, March 6, 2026. He passed away peacefully in his home with his family at his side. He was 58 years old.

Born October 13, 1967, in Bennettsville, Woody was the son of Mary Grace Hayes Blue and the late Edmond Blue.
