Recently, Lewis affirmed his love, trust, and hope in Christ by being baptized at the Alligood Church of God. Along with his parents, Lewis is also preceded in death by his sister Cynthia Radcliff and uncle Ashley Leggett Jr. Lewis is survived by his life partner of over 15 years, Ann Knox; sister and brother-in-law Melody and Ronald Huss; aunt Rebecca Leggett; uncle C.C.
