Charles David Lewis, age 55, of Olive Hill, Kentucky, went home to be with the Lord, Saturday, February 7, 2026, at UK-St. Claire Medical Center in Morehead, Kentucky, surrounded by his loving family.
He was born Thursday, June 25, 1970, in Boyd County, Kentucky, a son of Emilie Underwood Lewis and the late Charles Herman Lewis.
A devoted child of God, David lived his life grounded in faith; his trust in the Lord guided his actions, shaped his values, and carried him through both joy and hardship. He found comfort in prayer and believed deeply in God’s promise of eternal life.
Family was the center of David’s world. He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend who showed up without hesitation and loved without condition. Time spent with family—whether gathered around a table, working side by side, or sharing stories—was time treasured most.
David was a loyal friend to many, known for a generous heart, steady presence, and a willingness to help whenever needed. Their friendships were lasting and meaningful, built on trust, laughter, and shared experiences. Many looked on David as an example of perseverance, grit, and grace under pressure; in addition, David never hesitated to give advice or opinions.
An avid outdoorsman, David had a deep appreciation for hunting and the quiet peace found in the woods. Those moments in nature brought him joy, reflection, and connection—both to creation and to God.
Equally strong was David’s passion for anything with motors and wheels. From cars, trucks, ATVs, racing and engines, he found freedom, excitement, and satisfaction in the roar of an engine and the open road. It wasn’t just a hobby—it was part of who he was.
David leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply and will remember him always.
“He fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. – an overcomer in life, now victorious in eternity.”
David is survived by two sisters, Patty (J.D.) Hignite, Paulette (Kurt) Parker all of Olive Hill, Kentucky; nieces and nephews, Sidonna Gayle (Cary) Cox, Justin Douglas Parker, Crystal Dawn (B.A.) Oney, Jonathan Wesley (Jessica) Parker, Jacklyn Elizabeth (Alex) Napier; great-nieces, Carmen Cox, Georgia Parker, Shanelle Oney, Dylan Oney, Eden Napier and Ivy Napier, along with many other family and friends who will sadly miss him.
