Mr. George Richard Lewis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

George Richard Lewis was born on April 20, 1943 to the late Timothy and Alberta Lewis. He transitioned from his earthly life to be in the arms of his Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday December 14, 2019. He is finally free. “Richard,” as he was affectionately known by all, is survived by his four brothers, Thomas Lewis, Leonard Lewis, Arthur Lewis and Eugene Lewis. At six months of age, he was diagnosed with spinal meningitis, and it left him with a slight disability; but that certainly did not stop him from living a full life. He LOVED the Lord and didn’t mind telling people. Richard let his little light shine bright. Richard was a dedicated lifetime member and very active in his church, the North 17th Street Church of God. He served on the Choir and in the Food Bank Ministry along with many other tasks. He was always a willing worker, and he loved to clean up around the church grounds and “fix things” side by side with his father. Richard and his mother were avid walkers, and they walked nearly every day all around the city. In 2010, Richard came to the point in his battle with Alzheimer’s that he could no longer be cared for at home, and in February he went to reside at the Spring Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. He still enjoyed talking about the Lord everywhere he went and everyone loved his sweet spirit. He was always about his Father’s business. Richard enjoyed the Word and also loved gospel music. He will be missed by friends, both old and new, and family.
