Obituary Notice
Terrence “Terry” Lee Lewis, 61, of Three Rivers, passed away Friday, November 7, 2025 at his home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born September 6, 1964 in Three Rivers, the son of George E. and Marsha R. (Detwiler) Lewis, and graduated from Three Rivers High School with the Class of 1982.
Terry was a dedicated employee of the City of Three Rivers for the past 25 years, working as a Crew Leader for the Department of Public Services.
On May 11, 1985, he married his best friend, Sue Starks.
Terry was a family man, loyal, real, a giver of sound advice, and fun-loving – but also the voice of reason. He loved his kids and wanted the best for them; he passed on his work ethic to them, teaching them how to work hard and contribute to society. One of his most cherished roles was being a Grandpa to Raylan; spending time with him brought Terry great joy.
He was a jack of all trades when it came to auto repair/restoration, plumbing and house projects; he didn’t have to have everything new, but had a talent for taking things that weren’t new and making them look like they were! He also was a huge fan of the Detroit Lions.
Remaining to cherish his memory are his wife of 40 years, Sue Lewis; son, Ryan Lewis; daughter, Rachel (Joe) Gould; grandson, Raylan; mother, Marsha Lewis; and brothers, Tom Lewis and Tim (Colleen) Lewis.
He was preceded in death by his father, George Edward Lewis.

Condolences to you and your families, please feel
the hugs from all your neighbors.
Sue, Ryan and Rachel, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. Though he and I did not spend a lot of time together, when we did, we swapped child raising stories, wisdom and anecdotes. He loved his kids so much, which was evident in the way he played, worked and interacted with them. When he and Sue were together in the same room, you could tell what a strong bond they had for each other and the pride they felt in their family. It was always a good day when we could spend time together. The world did lose a genuinely decent man. My thoughts are with you.
He was an awesome friend gone too soon
I remember Terry from High School. Always thought he was a good person and fun person to be around.
I am so sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. I worked with Terry’s and his father, George, at CMI in White Pigeon. George was a great man and passed many great qualities to Terry. He lives on.
