Jacob James Sawyer Lewis, 44, of Robbinsville, North Carolina, passed away on September 9, 2025.

Born on November 10, 1980, he would have celebrated his 45th birthday in the coming November. Jacob was the beloved son of Donna Sawyer and Noel Jones, and James (Porkie) Lewis, and the cherished nephew of Rita Sawyer, Lisa Millsaps, and the grandson of Dorthy Rogers. He was a devoted father to his two daughters, Olivia Lewis, whom he lovingly called his princess, and Kayli Lewis.

Gifted both academically and personally, Jacob often enjoyed sharing how he could excel in school even while making it look effortless. He was known for his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help anyone in need. Jacob had a deep passion for cars, a fascination with knives and guns and above all, a profound love for his family. He will be remembered as a loyal friend, a caring son, and most importantly, an extraordinary father.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 11th, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Townson-Smith Funeral Home, followed by the funeral service at 12:00 p.m. Reverend Jed Cable will officiate. Burial will follow the service at Lower Sawyers Creek Cemetery.

Jacob's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Townson Smith Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Lewis family.
