Kenneth H. Lewis, 88, of Brownsville passed away peacefully Oct. 15, 2021 at his home.
He was born May 14, 1933 in the Boiling springs community to the late Clint Lewis and Matilda Wilson. He lost his parents at a young age and was raised in Boiling Springs by his grandmother, the late Stella Long Wilson. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Sybil Wells; three half brothers, Huel, Cletus and James Lewis; a son-in-law, Gary Raymer; and a daughter, Linda Kinser Sowders.
Kenneth was a retired painter, a US Army veteran and a member of Union Light Missionary Baptist Church. He enjoyed working puzzles, fishing, mushroom hunting, painting and keeping his yard and fields mowed with his John Deere. He never knew a stranger and would always make you smile and laugh. He loved spending time with his family and fur baby, Toby- and he always put them first.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM Wednesday at Gravil Funeral Home with burial to follow in Holly Springs Cemetery. Visitation will take place 12-7 PM Tuesday and after 9:00 AM Wednesday. The family requests that all visitors please wear a mask and practice social distancing.
