Terry Lewis Obituary

Terry R. Lewis Jr., a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, has taken his ultimate ride into eternity on May 22, 2025. Born December 21, 1955, to the union of Terry Lewis Sr. and Elizabeth Booker-Lewis, in Youngstown, Ohio, Terry brought warmth and joy to everyone around him. Terry navigated life's highways, spending years as a dedicated driver in medical transport with Reach Transportation. Known for his kindness and unwavering spirit, he ensured that every passenger journey was a safe and warm experience. Terry was a man who found joy in the simple moments, a devoted fan of the Browns, and a loving spirit who brought warmth to those around him. He leaves behind a loving family: his cherished wife, Debra Lewis; children LaShonda Lewis, Terrance Lewis, Keisha Lewis, and Chris (Breonna) Williams; and sisters Evonne (Lloyd) Hewlett and Vera Lewis, as well as his grandchildren-each carrying the light of his cherished memory. Terry's spirit lives on through the laughter and stories shared among those who loved him. As Terry crossed the celestial sands into eternity, he was reunited with his parents and brother Harlen Lewis who preceded him. Although he may be gone, he will forever drive on in our hearts. Graveside services, officiated by Rev. Lewis Macklin, will be held in his honor on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 1:00 pm. Family and friends will gather at Belmont Park Cemetery, 3346 Belmont Ave, Youngstown, OH. As we gather beneath the sky that Terry loved, we'll reflect upon precious memories, celebrate his life, and say goodbyes. At this time of intimate need and personal loss, the family of Terry R. Lewis Jr. elected to entrust the Ministry of Comfort & Care, along with Transitional After-Care Arrangements to the J. E. Washington Funeral Services, 2234 Glenwood Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio, 330.782.8500.
