A Graveside Service for Mr. Robert Lee Lewis will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2020 at 12:00 Noon at Green Grove Cemetery in Smithville, GA with Bishop Melvin McCluster officiating.
Robert Lee Lewis, Jr. was born on December 3, 1941 in Smithville, Georgia to the parentage of the late Mr. Robert Lee Lewis and Ms. Lutherine Lewis. Notably, at a very young age, he devoted his life to Christ in becoming a member of Green Grove Baptist Church. Soon after graduating from Lee County Training School in 1961, he moved to Atlanta to work for Georgia Pacific, then known as St. Regis Paper Company. After 50 years of faithful employment, he reluctantly retired.
He loved to dress in nice clothes and drive nice cars. You could always hear him saying “everything is lovely”. After retiring, he was known to spend his days cruising around Atlanta attending activities at Bowden Senior Center in East Point and frequenting Williams’ Car Care on Dill Avenue. When home in Smithville, he spent time with the boys on the corner.
He is preceded in death by three sisters Ada Mae Lewis, Joyce Daniels, and Jeanette Goodin.
His beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of his three devoted daughters, Robin (Ricky) Waters of Smithville, Georgia, Detria (Kelvin) Carter of Atlanta, Georgia, and Sharon (Alan) Robinson of Atlanta Georgia; two devoted sons Morris Tony Byse of Atlanta, Georgia and Eddie Tyrone Byse of Atlanta, Georgia; five loving grandchildren, Brandon Lewis, Bianca Waters, Tamara Waters, Ariel Lewis, and Serenity Waters; five siblings: Linda (Charlie) Thomas, Randy Lewis, Ernestine (George) Staley, Cilia Wilson, James (Verna) Haynes; and a host of nieces, nephews, and devoted friends including Lois Byse.
