Louis "Lexy" DeCray Loewenstein

May 23, 1962 - July 1, 2025

Louis "Lexy" DeCray Loewenstein passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 1, 2025, in San Francisco, California. He was 63 years old.

He was born in New York City on May 23, 1962. When he was two years old his family moved to San Francisco, where he grew up. Lexy lived a rich and wholehearted life defined by curiosity, adventure, and resilience. He earned his BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and during that time spent a year abroad at University College London. He also earned an MBA from the University of San Francisco.

Lexy was a passionate photographer whose work was recognized in multiple competitions. He was also an enthusiastic endurance athlete, completing four full marathons in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as proudly walking the London Marathon in 2023. On the slopes, he earned numerous Nastar ski racing medals-skiing was his favorite sport and one of his lifelong passions. He had a deep love for the outdoors, and especially cherished hiking in the mountains of Colorado-a place that brought him peace, clarity, and joy.

He had an incredible social network and a genuine gift for connecting people. Whether among friends or strangers, he was a natural bridge-builder who brought others together with warmth, humor, and generosity. Throughout his life, he was dedicated to outreach and fundraising efforts for organizations and institutions close to his heart.

But more than any of his accomplishments, Lexy's greatest joy was being a father. His favorite thing in life was spending time with his son, Levi. He rarely missed a school program or sports game, always choosing fatherhood above all else. Whether cheering from the sidelines or supporting from behind the scenes, Lexy's love for his son was steady, selfless, and deeply proud.

In 2022, Lexy was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer-despite being a lifelong non-smoker. He faced his illness with extraordinary courage, grace, and tenacity, continuing to live with purpose and love during his three-year journey.

Lexy is survived by his partner of nineteen years and wife, Trela Caler; his son Levi Loewenstein; and his sister, Lael Loewenstein of Santa Monica, California, and Donna Carter of Massachusetts. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marcella DeCray, and his father, Louis Klee Loewenstein.

His insatiable curiosity, adventurous spirit, and sentimental heart left an enduring impact on everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 17th at 11:00 AM at the Presidio Golf Course Clubhouse in San Francisco. Bites and beverages will follow.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family welcomes donations in Lexy's memory to GO2 for Lung Cancer at go2.org.
