On November 15, 2017, Lewis was united in Holy and Loving Matrimony to Kirsten Davies. To that union a son, Kyren Davies, was born; and with loving embrace, Kirsten’s love extended to Isiah Davies who is the cherished son of Lewis Davies. Lewis was known for being kind-hearted, humble and always being willing to help those in need. He was also known for his love of sweets, basketball skills and his appetite. Most of all, he was known for his love for the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE)…and his HEAD! He understood the need for sacrifices at a young age in life; he never gave up on his goals. Lewis was preceded in death by his Maternal Grandparents, Jimmie and Patricia Carter, and Paternal Grandfather, Melvin.
