James Edward Lewis, affectionately known as “Jimmy”, son of
the late Clevis Gamble and Jack Lewis Sr., was born on February
22, 1952 in Baltimore, Maryland. Sadly and unexpected, Jimmy
departed this life and was called to eternal rest on August 4, 2017.
Jimmy, a native of Baltimore, was educated in the Baltimore City
School System. At an early age, he was employed with Baltimore
City, then employed at Flannigan & Sons for many years
before moving on to work as a Long Shore man, at Local 333 in
Baltimore, Maryland.
For many years Jimmy and Glynda dated, until he asked for her
hand in marriage on August 10, 1991 at which time they were
joined in holy matrimony. They were best friends and soul mates.
Through ups and downs, highs and lows, they fulfilled the promise
they made to God “until death do us part”.
Jimmy touched the lives of many people with his smile and
generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the
way to the end. Jimmy was a family oriented man, who enjoyed
quality time with his family especially during holidays and family
gatherings. Jimmy loved watching westerns, listening to oldies but
goodies, playing cards and shooting dice. He was outspoken and
didn’t have a problem with keeping it real. Jimmy enjoyed hacking
and hauling loads for friends and family. Jimmy was a father
to so many and was well respected in the streets of Baltimore.
Rest assure you could go anywhere and feel safe with Jimmy.
Jimmy was preceded in death by son Darian Brown, mother
Clevis Gamble, father Jack Lewis Sr., brother Jack Lewis Jr, sister
Joquetta Parker and sister-in –law Angie Chapman.
