Bobby Blair Lewis, 88, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend passed away on November 12, 2025. Bobby was born on June 29, 1937 in Lowland, NC, the son of Charlie and Celia Lewis. In 1959 he married his sweetheart Brenda Watson, raised four children, and together they spent the next sixty years at their home in Lowland.

He is survived by his children Cathy (Paul) Lupton of Lowland, Nancy (Mark) Ross of Lowland, Blair (Nancy) Lewis of Matthews, NC, and Charlie (Karen) Lewis of New Bern, NC.
