Lewis Brothers Obituary
July 11, 1940 - March 21, 2025
BROTHERS Jr., Lewis W., 84 of Mechanicsville, Virginia, went to be with the Lord on Friday, March 21, 2025. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Nell Brothers. He is survived by his daughter, Jo Nell Robertson (CT); and many dear friends. Lewis proudly served his country in the US Coast Guard. He was a proud waterman, avid fisherman, and duck hunter.

He retired from the State Corporation Commission and was VP of Finance at the United Bank of Switzerland. The family will remember him with a Celebration of Life from 4 to 7 p.m., on Friday, April 25, 2025, at Monaghan Funeral Home, 7300 Creighton Pkwy., Mechanicsville, VA 23111, with his military honors to be rendered at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be provided during the celebration.

JoNell and CT. My thoughts are with you now (4/25/25, 4-7 pm). I´ve been flooded with memories on Charles´s behalf as well as my own. Curles Neck stories are dominate. I have found them to be quite comforting, especially as I observe Charles´s loss one year ago on April 16. May your memories comfort and sustain you as well.

Lewis was a dear friend and colleague. He was instrumental in bringing me to Virginia and was always very supportive of me throughout all my working years. I served on the NASAA Board with him. I was very fortunate to call him friend.

I met Lewis in 1972, when I began at the SCC, as a 21-year-old right out of college. Lewis was Director of the Securities and Retail Franchising Division and I was handling the SCC's legislative activities. Lewis's family and friends know him from those perspectives, but I want to be sure you know that he was a dedicated, talented and effective public servant. The soundness of Virginia's economy and business practices, even after Lewis retired, are greatly attributable to him. He constantly looked out for the public interest, even when "the business community" was motivated by greed. For many years in the future, Virginians who will never know his name will benefit from the service Lewis Brothers rendered to our Commonwealth.
