Lewis Marquece Brinkley was born on November 12, 1978, to Roberta T. Brinkley and the late Jeffery J. Brinkley. He leaves to cherish his memories with his brother, David L. Brinkley and his sister, Liquita B. (Puckerin) Chukwu. A number of nieces, nephews, uncles, and aunts whom he loved and adored. Lewis was a graduate of East Hall High School, Gainesville, Georgia. As one would say, he was a man of many talents, "jack-of-all-trades." He was a friend, a confidant, and a source of strength to everyone who knew him. His kindness, his humor, and his courage will never be forgotten. On August 7, 2025, at the age of 46, Lewis completed his earthly journey, leaving behind a legacy of love, joy, and knowledge. Even though he is no longer with us in person, his spirit remains – in our stories, in our love, and in the lessons, he left behind. Job well done little brother!
