Kenneth M. Lewis

June 21, 1974 - February 23, 2026

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth M. Lewis, a beloved father, brother, and friend, who left us on February 23, 2026, at the age of 51. Born on June 21, 1974, in Houston, Texas, Kenneth was the cherished son of the late Michael and Kathy Lewis.

He is now reunited with his beloved parents and grandparents, Curtis and Goldie Sumrall, and Douglas and Betty Lewis, who predeceased him.

Kenneth was a proud graduate of Elsik High School, where he laid the foundation for a life dedicated to service and community. At the tender age of 17, he answered the call of duty and enlisted in the Army National Guard, serving his country with honor and dedication from 1992 to 2005. His commitment to protecting and serving others continued as he became a respected deputy for the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office, where he devoted the last 12 years of his life to ensuring the safety and well-being of his community.

A lifelong resident of Houston, Kenneth later made his home in Katy, where he was deeply rooted in the community. He was known for his friendly and kind nature, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Kenneth never met a stranger, and his warm, talkative spirit endeared him to many.

Kenneth's greatest joy in life came from his children. He was a loving father to his sons, Elijah and Nathaniel Lewis, and his daughter, Miriam Lewis, who were the light of his life. His love for them was evident in everything he did, and he cherished every moment spent with them. Kenneth also leaves behind his devoted brother, Brian Lewis, and his sister, Emily Lewis, along with numerous other family members and a host of friends who will miss him dearly.

In his free time, Kenneth found solace in the great outdoors. His favorite color was green, a fitting tribute to his love for nature. He enjoyed fishing, survival bush crafting, and fire starting, often sharing these passions with his children, creating lasting memories that they will cherish forever.

A funeral service to honor Kenneth's life will be held on March 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Second Baptist Church West Campus, located at 19449 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77094. The family invites all who knew Kenneth to join them in celebrating his life and the legacy he leaves behind.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Kenneth's memory to the Texas Fallen Officers Foundation or the Texas Police Chiefs Association Foundation, organizations that honor and support those who, like Kenneth, dedicated their lives to serving and protecting others.

Kenneth M. Lewis will forever be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his community, and his country. His legacy of kindness, service, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
