Condolences for the family of “Jason M Lewis Sr.”
I am so sad to hear of Jason’s tragic fishing accident and passing. I had fun bowling with him and Donna. He was the best crappie/bluegill catcher I knew! I will always remember him when I cast my line out into the water. My sincere condolenses go out to his family. Jason was a good man. God bless you Jason. RIP.
So sorry to hear of Mr. Lewis’s passing and his friend. They would always come and fish in our front yard. They both will be missed!!
As usual I had told Gary that Friday morning it was too windy to go fishing, and as usual he said “Jason & I got this, we’ll be fine” And in the past they were. One dumb decision cost them their lives. It was fitting they went together. I’ll miss Jason calling me Wifey. My love and prayers go out to his family. We must all remember what good buddies they were and how they enjoyed fishing. Sandy Cook
To the lewis family I send my condolences.Jason was a good man and a great boss to work for.
My condolences go out to the Lewis family. May God bless you and strengthen you during this difficult time.
You will be missed but not forgotten. ..I will miss your fish you made the best fish…
I just learned of Jason’s death. I was an employee of his for many years when I worked for KFC in Columbus. I know his death was some time ago, but I wanted to let you know how much I respected and loved him. I count him as one of the great men and women who have shaped my life.
