William Lewis Obituary
July 23, 1949 – December 19, 2025
Bill, age 76 of Grayson, Ga passed away on December 19, 2025, shortly after undergoing surgery. His loss was sudden and deeply felt by all who knew him.
Born and raised in Atlanta, he graduated from Georgia State University and built a respected career in real estate throughout Gwinnett County, earning a reputation for integrity and dedication to helping others succeed.
Known for his kindness, loyalty, and gentle heart, Bill had a deep love for animals-especially his beloved cat Sammie, who brought him great comfort.
He is survived by his wife Colleen Lewis, daughters Jennifer Smith (Brent) and Jodi Lewis (Josh Long), grandsons Chase, Braxton, and Hayden, and his brother Jimmy; he was preceded in death by his parents William and Evelyn Lewis.
A private service will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Atlanta Humane Society.

Bill was a wonderful inspiration and mentor to me when I began my long career in real estate. He set an example of how to be successful without compromising kindness and honesty. I loved going to work there, and especially enjoyed our Tuesday meetings which Bill led with positivity. Although it's been a couple decades since we worked together, his friendship and training gave me a strong foundation that still sustains me today.
