Paul Townsend Lewis transitioned into his new heavenly body on Sunday, November 13, after a short illness.

Townsend worked alongside his father for many years at Lewis Service Station in Millen. In his spare time, he loved fishing, watching Georgia football games, and most importantly spending time with his family. His wife and children remember him as having a great sense of humor, which he passed along to his son Trentson, and cracking jokes even in his final days here on Earth. Known by many for his heart, Townsend embodied the Christian philosophy of giving.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bobby and Patsy Lewis.
