Lewis was a proud father and was known as the band dad at Boiling Springs High School during the years Malcolm and Lauryn were in school and even after. Always known for being goofy but was always there for all the students. Lewis was a hard worker and always made sure to provide for and spoil his family.

To Lewis, there were no strangers, just friends he hadn't met yet. His memory will live on in the hearts of the numerous friends and family who he greatly loved. His life may seem short to many, yet to those who were touched by his spirit, it was nothing short of abundant.
