Irvin Lynn Lewis

Irvin Lynn Lewis, 85, of Westfield, passed away on Monday, January 1, 2024 at Riverview Health in Noblesville.  

Irvin was born to Jess and Clara Lewis, June 30, 1938. He was the middle child of three children, older sister Barb and younger brother Dale. Irvin loved to laugh and have fun. He often came across as a jokester and had his share of idioms to share his most often used was "It is what it is".

He was a graduate of Wood High School class of 1956, there he was a member of the school choir that gave him the opportunities to be a past of a quartet which after high school he traveled for a year to sing. One of the members got sick and had to leave. Irvin had two boys, David and Dennis Lewis. He left Indiana, went to California, then returned to Indiana and reconnected with Mary Ann. They were married on March 4, 1967 and soon after they added a 9 year old girl to their family and loved her as their own. 

Irvin and Mary loved to spend time over the years traveling and camping, driving to their favorite music venue or visiting family. One year while driving home the transmission went out on the truck, and he was handy enough to replace the transmission at the camp ground. 

He loved to spend his time keeping busy with camping, fishing, fixing things (Mr. Fix It), woodworking, yard work, sports, bowling, and playing cards. Irvin was a resident of Indianapolis until 1971 when he moved from the south side to Westfield, and later to Noblesville in 2008.

He loved his job at Carmel Welding for over 40 years. He only got to spend a few years after retirement, shopping, dining out, and playing with his dog that he loved. He enjoyed eating out and getting a full meal. Irvin's health went on the decline just before June 2022, more so after his wife of 55 years entered into her own health problems. They enjoyed spending time with their grandchildren, and these visits meant the world to Irvin. He loved his family and people and would often say "I love everybody".

So today we celebrate a life well lived to it's fullest. Loving life, family and having fun.

Irvin is survived by his sister, Barbara Cox; children, Beverlye (Scott) Norman, David (Joy) Lewis, and Dennis (Dawn) Lewis; grandchildren, Chad and Debbie Norman, Chelsie and Ryan Hufferd, Rosemarie and Joseph Ferguson, Jeffery and Heather Lewis, Jennifer and Eric Swope, Heather and Jeremy Ingalls, Jessica and Adam Becker, Lisa Evans, Nicholas Lewis, Nicole Lewis, Heather Summers, and Tara Kellet; great-grandchildren, Sophie, Carter, Steven, Jason, Abby, Tessa, Tamia, Dylan, Dominic, Damian, Domanic, Faith, Skylar, David, Corban, Clayton, Kaytlynn, William, Ezra, Sarah, Eddie, Abby, Jaylen, Charles, Gabriella, Nevaeh, Angel, Starr, Sophia, Aiden, and Lyla; great-great grandchildren, Kalani, Javier, Khyson, and Elizabeth June.
