Fred Ford Lewis

Fred Ford Lewis was born May 16, 1920 in Rocky Hill, KY located in Barren County to the late Rev. John Lewis and Viola Parker. His soul was ushered into the eternal rest of God on Monday, June 4, 2012, at the age of 92 years and 20 days. On March 30, 1946, Fred was united in Holy Matrimony to his wife of 64 years, the late Earline (Davidson) Lewis. To this union seven children were born. Fred professed a hope in Christ at early age and united with the Old Rocky Hill Baptist Church where he was a faithful member. After relocating to Bowling Green, KY, and his health began to fail, he worshipped at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and the Seventh Street Baptist Church with his children when he was not able to travel to Old Rocky Hill. He had a strong commitment to the Lord and love good old gospel singing. He would always say “I am just putting it in the Good Lord’s hands”. He was faithfully employed for over 30 years with the Firestone Tire Company of Bowling Green, and later he went to work for Scotty’s Construction Company where he retired after many years of service. After his retirement he purchased a little old truck and began loading it down weekly with cardboard; not necessarily for the money but for the joy it brought him in being busy. Fred enjoyed being in the outdoors and meeting and talking with new people. He loved gathering up his children and going to the wrestling matches that were held at the Lampkin Park Fairground in the 1970’s as well as watching his favorite sport, baseball on TV. Fred was preceded in death by his wife Earline Lewis and his daughters Johnnie Mae Sanders and Brenda Faye Lewis; three sisters, Melissa McKay, Beatrice Swan, Churcha Lewis, four brothers, Alexander (A.C.) Lewis, Roger Lewis, Henry Lewis and Rev. Mitchell Lewis, and one granddaughter Toni Potter,. He leaves to cherish his memory five children; Barbara Jean Reid, Charles Lewis (Charlotte), Shelia Windham, Joyce Lewis all of Bowling Green, KY and Paula Daniels (Rev. Marion R. Daniels) of Powder Springs, GA. He also leaves his siblings Rev. Oliver Lewis, Mrs. Nintha Skiles, Mr. Robert Lewis (Mary) Rev. Bradley Lewis (Brenda), Rev. Charles Lewis (Fannie), Rev. Frank Lewis (Diana); fourteen grandchildren, fourteen great grand children, and a host of nieces and nephews. Sincerely, -Your friends at Burnam and Son
