Llewellyn "Lew" Lewis Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones. Lew was a devoted father, grandfather, and friend whose kindness and steady presence left a lasting impact on those who knew him.

After serving his country in the Navy, Lew completed his college degree and went on to dedicate much of his career to public service as a park ranger and parks director. He found peace in the mountains of Beulah, Colorado, and in his hometown of Pueblo.

He is survived by his wife, Cindy Lewis; his children, Trae, Jason, and Lauren; his sisters, Barbara Eslinger and Nancy Britt; his grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Llewellyn Lewis and Bobbie Lou Cramer Lewis.
