Willie Lewis Jr.

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Willie Lewis Jr., who departed this life on July 3, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Willie was the beloved son of the late Willie Lewis Sr. and Kathleen Brown. He joins his parents, as well as his brother, Danny Lewis, and sisters, Teresa Holton and Carol Bonds, in eternal rest. Willie was a dedicated and loving partner to Earleen "Shakee" Brown, whose unwavering care and devotion provided him comfort during his hardest days. He was a proud father to his children, Jeramie Lewis and his wife Bertina, Jasmine Lewis, and Amber Brooks along with her fiancée, Houston Brooks Sr. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Kananda, Julius, Gabriella, Maxwell, Nicholas, Houston Jr., and Ky'mani. Known for his realism, Willie was a man who could light up a room with his humor and outgoing nature. He was always ready to lend a helping hand, a testament to his generous spirit. His passion for working on cars was only surpassed by his devotion to his family, with whom he cherished spending his time. A special note of gratitude is extended to Ms. Earleen "Shakee" Brown for the tireless care and love she provided Willie, especially in his final days. While we mourn the loss of Willie, we also celebrate the indelible mark he left on our hearts. His laughter, strength, and love will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
