1944-2024
Thomas Wilton Lewis, age 80, of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at the Hospice of the Panhandle Inpatient Care Facility while surrounded by his family.
Born May 29, 1944, in Martinsburg, W.Va., he was the son of the late Lee Roy Lewis and the late Hazel Blanche Frye Lewis.
He was a graduate of Martinsburg High School and graduated from Shenandoah University.
Throughout his lifetime, he worked as the IT Manager for Rubbermaid Commercial Products, for his beloved friends at Shenandoah Sand and retired as a salesperson from Griffith Energy, but his most treasured accomplishment was being a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. His family and friends will miss him greatly. He will forever be remembered by the love he extended to everyone and his love for hunting and fishing.
He attended Word of Deliverance Church and was an avid hunter and fisherman, which he did alongside his wife for many years. He was a member of the Up the River Hunting Camp and made lifelong friends there.
Some of his specialties included hunting and fishing, building things, teaching his children and grandchildren to hunt and fish, and creating memories with family and friends.
He is survived by his two children, Thomas W. Lewis (Morgan), of Bedford N.H., and Jennifer (Kirk) of Fairfax, Va., two step children, Timothy Andrew Allemong (Lyndi), of Gaithersburg, Md. and Stefanie Kay Allemong of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., one sister, Valinda Sue Shawyer (Jeff), 5 grandchildren, including Katherine Lewis, Margaret Lewis, and Daniel Lewis as well as 4 step grandchildren, Morgan Ambrose, Alexandra McCusker, Brayden Allemong and Colton Allemong.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Betty A. Lewis, and two brothers, Richard Lee Lewis and Melvin Stephen Lewis.
An informal celebration of life will be conducted on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at 11 a.m. at Word of Deliverance Church, 116 Harvest Drive, Berkeley Springs, W.Va. 25411, with Pastor Lisa Unger officiating.
