Timothy was born on December 31,1965, a half hour shy of the New Year. He was a special gift to his parents, Otis and Delores Lee Lewis, and the youngest of their four children. Because of his special needs, his education did not follow the typical path, but he received the services of the East Alabama Mental Health Day Programs and later entered into their residential services.

Timothy was special. Those of us who were fortunate to know him, witnessed his dedication to a very structured and well-defined life. With utmost devotion, he attended to his daily chores, even when doing so would sometimes present an inconvenience to others. These occasions were generously forgiven, as we found them both amusing and endearing.

He knew the love of family and friends; he knew the grace of God.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents and two brothers, Otis Lamar Lewis, Jr, and Michael Edward Lewis.

Survivors include his sister, Deborah Lewis Davidson (Donald); a brother, Larry Miles (Octavia); an aunt, Sarah Lewis; nieces, Amber Dixon (Curtis), Crystal Burge (Sedrick), Shonya McKinley (Kenneth); a nephew, Nicholas Dixon (Amanda); grand nieces and nephews and a host of cousins, many of whom are here today to celebrate his life.

A special thanks to the staff of The Opelika Retirement Home, Integra/EAMH for their ten years of care. Also, to Homer (Butch) Lewis, Jr., for his lifelong devotion to Tim, including his presence when Timothy departed this life.
