Johnathon DuRant Lewis

Johnathon attended Green Year Round and Pleasant Union Elementary School. He then attended Durant Road Middle School where he achieved high honors. He started high school at Oak Ridge Military Academy and continued at Leesville Road High School where, once again, he was an honor roll student. Johnathon was active in the community. He participated in community service for Wheels for Hope and the Raleigh Parks System. He played baseball for North Wake Community Baseball Association, and was a member of Troop 11 Boy Scouts of America, sponsored by Calvary Presbyterian Church.

He is survived by his mother, Lisa Marie Bordelon; father, Lowry DuRant Lewis; sisters, Lauren Marie Lewis and Elizabeth Blakely Lewis. He is also survived by his maternal grandparents, Clifford Ray Smith and Carolyn Marie Smith; fraternal uncle, Jack Fleet Lewis II; maternal cousin, Morgan Edward Lilly; and fraternal cousin, Jack Fleet Lewis III. He was preceded in death by paternal grandparents, Jack Fleet Lewis Sr. and Eunice DuRant Lewis, and his maternal aunt, Jill Smith Lilly. Johnathon, known as John to his friends, also has cousins, relatives, and friends that he leaves behind, yet not forgotten.

Johnathon’s spirit will always be amongst the laughter and joyous moments of his family and friends. Johnathon always lived life to the fullest. He is a light that will always shine brightly. He had a witty sense of humor. He was extremely intelligent and bright. His friends meant so much to him. He had a passion for music. He kept a lot to himself, so there might be billions of things we did not know about Johnathon; but the many things we do know, we keep close to our heart. He touched all of our lives, and we will miss him. We are thankful for the time we had with him.

A service in his memory will be held 10:00 am Saturday, October 29, 2016 at North Raleigh United Methodist Church, 8501 Honeycutt Rd, Raleigh, NC 27615.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Wheels 4 Hope, 929 South Saunders Street, Raleigh, NC 27603.
