Lewis enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, and family. His adventurous spirit made him a lover of the great outdoors, but his passions were hunting and fishing. Lewis’s greatest passion was kite boarding off the beaches of Corpus Christi, Texas, and he loved the beach lifestyle.

He spent the last portion of his life dedicated to taking care of his elderly parents and was always willing to help others in need. He had a big heart and enjoyed sitting on the porch and having a really joyful, funny and outrageous conversation. Lewis was one of a kind and we were blessed to have him as a father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.
