Jason Pierre Lewis peacefully entered into eternal rest on August 24, 2015 at 4:10am with his devoted wife, Ivy Lewis, at his bedside. Jason’s courageous spirit, curiosity and love for God enabled him to endure through pain and suffering. He fought the good fight of faith until the end.
Jason was born on May 9, 1968 in Washington, DC. He is the son of Thomas Lewis and adoptive mother, Lucille Lewis. Jason was the oldest son of two siblings, Issa El and Tisha Lewis Ellison. At the tender age of 15, Jason, Issa and Tisha were brought to the Lord at the doctor’s office and all three were later baptized by the late Pastor Make Archie Carver from Goodwill Baptist Church.
He attended and graduated from the DC Public School system, Whittier Elementary, Paul Junior High, and Calvin Coolidge High School. He attended the Upward Bound College Preparatory Program at Howard University. He matriculated to the University of the District of Columbia and then worked as a White House intern for two years. Jason had varied interests, including accounting, singing, modeling, and reading. He chose his heartfelt profession as a barber, attended school, and eventually worked at Preston’s Barber Shop.
In 1999, Jason met Ivy Bean and became best friends. On November 15, 2012, Pastor Goodloe joined this lovely couple in holy matrimony.
Praising God for the experiences and opportunities to have shared in this wonderful life are, his wife, Ivy Lewis, parents Thomas and Lucille Lewis, brother Issa El and sister Tisha Lewis Ellison. Jason is survived by other brothers Edward Spriggs and Frank Lassory; and other sisters Jacqueline Lucas, and Linda Marshall. One brother, David Sims, preceded Jason in death. He also has a host of surviving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives and friends.
From his wife, Ivy Lewis:
Jason was a very hard worker his entire life. He worked part-time at Preston’s Barber Shop along with working part-time with RR Donnelly for several years.Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.” (Psalm 119:133)
