Lewis moved to the Farmington area approximately 2 years ago. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping. Lewis really enjoyed anything that could allow him to be outdoors. He enjoyed going to the race track and especially loved sitting around bonfires at night with family and friends. To say that Lewis was a great man would be a true understatement. He was an amazing son, father, grandfather, and husband and was willing to help anyone who needed it.

Due to the current situation concerning COVID-19, the family has decided that Lewis would best be honored and remembered by having a barbecue and bonfire at a later date.
