James Edward "POP" Lewis Jr.

A loving father, a loving brother, a loving son. James Edward "Pop" Lewis, Jr., was born on March 12, 1963, in Orlando, FL. He was preceded in death by his parents, Juanita Haynes-Wimberly and James Edward Lewis, Sr.

James spent his early years in Apopka, FL, later moving to Orlando, FL, where he attended High School at Oak Ridge High School in the early 1980's.

James was a radiant presence in all lives he touched and exhibited compassion and generosity in all things he did. He had an enormous impact on all he knew, always willing to help in any capacity, and made everyone feel valued. A skilled tradesman, James had a deep passion for automotive repair, home projects, and landscaping; his work with his hands reflected both his creativity and determination.

For more than a decade, James worked in construction, earning respect for his skill and work ethic. But beyond his profession, his greatest impact was on the people around him, and always showing up, always helping, always loving.

He was preceded in death by his father, James Edward Lewis, Sr.; mother, Juanita Haynes-Wimberly; and brother, Bryant Lewis.
