Thank you for having Robert's funeral service online. The love for Jesus and Robert was incredible to witness. Robert was loved and respected by many. My family and I have been richly blessed by Robert's thoughtfulness and friendship. I learned so much from Robert through the years. He shared his knowledge of the Bible, taught me about gardening and in our last conversation I was telling him that we were having trouble getting grass to grow and he told me exactly what kind of grass to plant. Robert's wisdom, sense of humor, compassion for others will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to Virginia, their family and many friends. Nancy (Nordman) Hoffmann🙏🏼❤️
I woke up to a message on Facebook about laying her father to rest my condolence to the family Virginia my good friend my sister in Christ, Micheal, my son's best friend and long-term school buddy. Sara we love you. to God be the glory. Robert was a good father husband and friend. Rest in peace.
Deacon Lewis was a very dedicated and smart man that truly loved the Lord. He was a Sunday School teacher at New Providence Baptist Church. He also was the Director of the Senior Day Fellowship Ministry. If he didn't see you in Sunday School, he would remind you how important it was to attend Sunday School and Church. He studied the Word of God and knew how to explain it in a way that you could understand it. He will be truly missed.
A Tribute to Uncle Lewis My Uncle Lewis was a man who could brighten any room with nothing more than a smile and a well‑timed joke. He had a gift for laughter—his own and everyone else's. No matter what was going on in life, he always had something funny to say, something to lift your spirits, something that reminded you that joy was still present. Uncle Lewis also had a heart big enough to hold the whole family. His home was more than a house—it was a place of comfort, warmth, and welcome. He opened his doors without hesitation, without question, and without limit. If you needed a place to go, you could always count on him. I will deeply miss driving by and seeing him sitting on his patio, waving as if he'd been waiting just for me. I will miss our talks—the easy conversations, the good stories, the shared laughter. And I'll especially miss teasing him by saying, "I know I'm your favorite niece," and hearing him laugh that familiar laugh that made you feel loved. My heart is glad knowing that Uncle Lewis is resting now. I take comfort in believing he is at peace. But my heart is also sad, because his presence here—his humor, his kindness, his steady love—is something I will miss every day. To Aunt Gin, Michael, and Sara: I am sending you all my love and prayers. May you feel the same comfort, strength, and warmth that Uncle Lewis gave to all of us. His spirit lives on in every story we share, every memory we hold, and every moment we carry him in our hearts. Rest well, Uncle Lewis. You will always be loved and always be missed.
To Aunt Gin, Michael, Sara and the Lewis family, you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss coming home and not seeing uncle Robert out in the yard mowing grass or just relaxing by the pond. I send hugs and comfort.
I miss you already Robert. It seems strange that I can't call you, text you, put pictures on your Facebook page. Rest in Peace my beautiful friend ❤️ I know Virginia will be well taken care of. Until we meet again. Love you, Loie
To my Lewis Family, I extend my deepest and most sincere condolences, in the loss of Uncle Robert. There are no words that can fully ease the pain that comes with such a loss, but please know that you are not walking through this season alone. Uncle Robert's life mattered, and his presence will always remain in the hearts of those who loved him. The bond of family is sacred, and when one is taken from us, a part of our own heart goes with them. I pray that in the quiet moments, God will gently wrap His arms around you and give you a peace that surpasses all understanding. May the memories you shared become a source of comfort, and may the love that surrounds you remind you that grief is not something you carry alone. "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).
The Ector Family are lifting you in prayer, asking God to strengthen you, to heal your broken hearts, and to carry you when the days feel too heavy to bear.
Your Nephew, Rev. Dr. Marlon D. Ector
Robert was a really nice person and so smart. I loved playing tennis with him as a partner. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by his family. Don Kress
Our heartfelt condolences to the Lewis families. We always enjoyed being around Robert during McIntyre family reunions and smaller family gatherings at he and Virginia's house, and Bill and Bonnie's house.He told you just how he felt about different topics, and he also had a good sense of humor. On several different times, we stood out in the parking lot of Walmart talking and laughing for about 30 minutes. Our Prayers are with you all and for you all for Peace, Comfort, and Strength during this time and afterwards. The Poole,Cobb, Cromer, Harris, Scott-Hester, Scott, and Pridgon families.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
