Larry Dean Lewis

On March 8, 2021, Larry Dean Lewis went to his heavenly home. Larry was born on January 13, 1949 to Foster and Betty Lewis in Caledonia, MI where he lived his whole life. Larry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved the Lord, and was active at his church. He was proud to continue the tradition of farming the same corner as his family had for more than 140 years as seen on his 4th of July float pulled by his favorite tractor decorated to show his love of country. He enjoyed going out West pheasant hunting. He loved his grandkids, and was very proud of them. They are his best crop yet.

He is survived by his wife, Christine Lewis; his five children, Angela (Brian) Rushlow, Dean (Darcey) Lewis, Matt (Stephani) Lewis, Tim (Mary) Smith, and Ed (Sherri) Smith; his 13 grandchildren; and two sisters, Linda Boot, and Luann Lewis-Snyder; and his mother-in-law, Theressa Noffke. He was preceded in death by his parents, Foster and Betty Lewis; his father-in-law, Ralph (Betty) Noffke; and his grandson, John Thomas Smith.
