Larry W. Lewis

CLAXTON: Larry W. Lewis, 75, passed away Sunday, January 21, 2024, at Evans Memorial Hospital after a short battle with lung cancer.
He was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and moved to Savannah, Georgia with his parents and sisters at an early age. He graduated from Groves High School, and after graduating, he was drafted into the Army. He served in the Vietnam War and was very proud of his service to his country and his flag. After serving, he found the profession he truly loved- sheet metal fabrication and installation. He also enjoyed fishing, camping and riding motorcycles. He did not love having to retire due to degenerate bone disease, making working with his hands very painful. He has three wonderful years with his great-granddaughter, Milo, whom he adored.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Dorothy T. Lewis; sister, Jackie Chancey; and step-daughter, Justine L. Simmons.

SURVIVORS: his wife of forty-one years, DeVane Parker Lewis of Claxton, Ga.; daughter, Jennifer Lewis of Sylvania, Ga.; sisters, Debbie Shular of Savannah, Ga. and Kim (Mike) Phillips of Macon, Ga.; brothers-in-law, Mitchell Chancey of Savannah, Ga. and Charles (Diane) Parker of Claxton, Ga.; sister-in-law, Genevieve P. (Romey) Kirkland of Claxton, Ga.; grandchildren, Ethan Lavine and Harley Quinn; great-granddaughter, Milo Jamerson.
