Warren Lewis Obituary

Warren Lewis, 87, of Boulder City, Nevada went to be with the Lord on November 27, 2010.

He was born on December 10, 1922 in Harrah, Oklahoma to Charles and Cora Lewis. In 1941, he married Goldie Louise Word and moved to Oxnard that same year. He served in the U.S. Navy, and spent 48 years as a civil servant at Pt. Hueneme Naval Base, managing various functions of the Transportation Department. He also worked several part-time jobs as a meat cutter at Noren's Market, Santa Cruz Market, and Johnson Farms.

A man of great faith, he was a long-time member of the First Southern Baptist Church of El Rio. Warren loved fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family. He moved to Henderson, Nevada in 2005, and most recently lived in the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City.

Warren was preceded in death by his wife, Louise, in 2003, as well his brothers, Charlie Lewis and Ivan Lewis, and his sisters, Hazel Cunningham and Jessie Warren.

Warren and Louise lived in the same home in El Rio for over 50 years.

He is survived by sons, Jim Lewis of Henderson, Nevada; Bill Lewis of Niwot, Colorado, and Bill's wife Merilee. He has five grandchildren: Jimmy Lewis, Jillayne Ange, Brian Lewis, Kate Lewis, and Wil Lewis, as well as eight great-grandchildren, Marissa, Paige, Geoffrey, Jimmy, Jennifer, Vanessa, Kristen, and Kirsten.

A funeral service will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, December 4, at Joseph P. Reardon Mortuary Chapel, 757 East Main Street, in Ventura. Burial will follow at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park in Ventura.

My dad taught me patience, integrity, and Faith. He was the perfect role model as a father, and I've tried my best to emulate him in bringing up my own kids. Thank you all, on behalf of our family, for your thoughtful comments, prayers, phone calls, and cards.

God bless.

We send our deepest sympathy to you Bill and Jim. Your parents were always counted as our friends. Your dad and Neal enjoyed lots of laughs and tales shared. We're surprised every day that it isn't our names in some obituary. Certainly your dad was very proud of both of you. We are praying the Lord will comfort your families in this loss of your dad.

Warren was a wonderful man. He produced two very talented sons who will carry on his legacy. He will be missed but he is enjoying his great reward along side of Louise. We will miss these courageous members of the 'Greatest Generation'.
