Obituary

Ronald D. Lewis (Ronnie) age 80 of Farmers Branch, TX went to be with the Lord on Sept. 27, 2022 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was surrounded by family and friends. Ronnie was born in Colorado City, TX on May 23, 1942. He grew up in Big Spring, TX and graduated from Big Spring HS and then attended Howard County Jr. College where he received his associate degree.

Ronnie married the love of his life, Sue Adams Lewis on Feb. 27, 1965. He was a proud father of three daughters Kimberly (Joe) Collins, Tracy (Coby) Farrow and Kristi (Rick) Shipley. He is also survived by a Brother Jerry (Mary) Lewis, sister Martha (Brent) Womack, grandchildren (7), great grandchildren (9), along with many nieces and nephews.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Lena Mae Lewis, and granddaughter, Bailey Mae Farrow.

Ronnie retired from Trane, heating and air conditioning company. As he would say, “You can’t stop a Trane!” He won many top salesman awards for international and light commercial sales while working there. Anyone that knew him, knew he was a true salesman to the core. He had a great work ethic and passion! Ronnie was also very involved with the Lion Club and his church home a Westside Church of Christ in Midland, TX in his earlier years. Later when they moved to Farmers Branch, TX he was involved in the mission work at Walnut Hill Church of Christ for over 35 years. Ronnie and Sue also taught Awana and the 4/5 year old Bible class. He has supported many missionary families and still does today. He believed in the work for the Lord!

Ronnie was a family man and loved them deeply. His daughters, grandkids, and great grandkids loved him deeply. He would tell everyone about his family and how proud he was of them. Ronnie truly had a heart for people. He loved them and wanted everyone to know about Jesus. He was constantly inviting people to church over the years and Ronnie never met a stranger. He has left such a wonderful legacy for his family and friends. Be fishers of men and spread the Gospel. Matthew 4:19 “Come follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

The family would like to express their appreciation for all the love and support during this difficult time.

Testimonials

"I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks."

"The unexpected passing of my husband was a very difficult and trying time for my boys and I. I had the good fortune of having Abel walk us thru this process. Working with him was such a weight off my shoulders. He was professional, so polite and helpful. The service was beautiful – never did I feel rushed or like just another customer. They gave me the time I needed and I appreciate that so much! Also Mr. Brooks took special care of my husband as he is a fellow mason. I would highly recommend working with Abel and North Dallas Funeral Home."

"Everyone at North Dallas Funeral Home was very professional, kind, and caring, in all steps of the process from the first phone call to the service held at their location. They help to make the process as easy and comforting in my opinion as to be expected, I would recommend their service to anyone. Thank You to everyone who helped me and my family. Sincerely,"

"As soon as the call was made to Mr. Wayne Baxter all of my brothers final needs were taken care of. They walked me through what to expect the timeline and even dealt with the cemetery and the grave diggers. I was a hot mess due to my brothers sudden and unexpected passing. The experience was seamless and made it easy for my brother’s friends and family to say their last goodbyes. They even had the size to accommodate such a large group that showed up . The package deals that they offered were cost-effective and didn’t break my bank account. They included extras and accommodations that other funeral homes charged extra for. All the staff was amazing including Mr. Don Dodd . I can not thank them enough for all their help."

Dear John,

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you.

Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad.

Love, The Gillilands
