John Leroy Lewis was born on May 15, 1966 in Kansas City, Kansas and passed away at the age of 58 on February 6, 2025 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He loved fishing and his children fondly remember family outings at their favorite fishing hole at Norfork Lake. He also enjoyed hunting, camping and anything that involved being outdoors. He was a member of the Church of Christ and always maintained his belief in Jesus Christ as his Savior.
John is survived by his mother, Marva Lewis of Washburn, Missouri; eight children, Cristy Lewis of Bentonville, Aransas, Joshua Lewis of Bentonville, Alisha Hartman of Washburn, Mark Lewis of Mountain Home, Arkansas, John Lewis of Mountain Home, Danielle Lewis of Mountain Home, Christopher Lewis of Las Vegas, Neveda and Travis Lewis of Conway, Arkansas; 5 siblings, Mark Lewis of Decatur, Texas, Bill Lewis of Seligman, Missouri, Rhonda Life of Washburn, Tina Lewis of Bentonville and James Lewis of Wheaton, Missouri and ten grandchildren, Madison, Rylen, Bryson, Saundria, Elliona, Kyler, Delylah, Stone, Jackson and Skyler. John was preceded in death by his father, John William Lewis.
A private memorial service for family and loved ones will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, February 24, 2025 at the Cross Street Church of Christ in Mountain Home. John's ashes will later be spread at his favorite fishing spot. John left us prematurely and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. The family appreciates all the love and support they have received during this difficult time.

Here’s a longer and more heartfelt version that really honors your friendship:
John Lewis was not just an amazing man—he was my best friend, and I truly don’t have the words to explain the depth of loss I feel in my heart. It’s hard to believe that someone so full of life, laughter, and love could be gone so soon. Every day with John was an adventure; he had this incredible ability to turn even the simplest moments into something unforgettable. His energy was contagious, and his heart was bigger than anyone I’ve ever known—always ready to give, to help, and to love without hesitation.
I can’t imagine how much his family must be hurting, and my thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. I hope they find some comfort in knowing how many lives John touched and how much joy he brought to everyone around him.
I feel incredibly blessed to have shared so many memories with him. He wasn’t just a friend; he was my very best friend. Rest in peace, John Lewis—you’ll never be forgotten. Until we meet again at that big casino in the sky, I’ll carry your spirit with me in everything I do!

The area has lost a legend. John Lewis was always in church every Sunday. He volunteered at many charitable organizations. He was known as a man you could always depend on in every way. His service to the Twin Lakes Area just can't be summed up in mere words. I just don't know how the area will be able to cope with such a loss.
