BRYAN D. LEWIS
7 April 1961~~13 June 2021
Bryan, a loving husband and father, left his shell of a body after a three and a half year hard fought battles with esophageal cancer. He passed in his Gardner, KS home surrounded by his family on Sunday the 13th of June at the age of 60.
Bryan was born on April 7, 1961 in Olathe, KS to Allen Russell and Shirley Ann (Endecott) Lewis. He grew up in Olathe where he attended Olathe High School, class of 1979. Bryan married his wife Stacy on April 6, 2001 after 5 years of dating. He wanted to take HVAC at Votech but it was full so he took printing instead. This turned out to be the right career as he worked first in the print shop at Cookbook Publishers then moved up and started a division in the promotional products side to market cookbooks with fixed recipes where corporations and companies could put their logo on the covers instead of just for fundraisers, families, clubs and church groups with personalized recipes. He worked there for 28 years with many great coworkers. He left and started his own business in 2006, first as a multi-line rep for promotional products suppliers. After one year he started his own promo distributorship, Lewis Promotional Marketing and Stacy joined him soon after. He built 10 websites to take orders from across the country and the world. They built the business together and worked well (most of the time) together out of their home. In March 2021 they made the hard decision to close as Stacy just couldn’t continue without him. He was the website & tech guru, taxman, and salesperson. She the salesperson, order processor, and learned to be the bill payer. It was too much work for just two people at times and impossible with one.
Bryan so loved his family and extended family with all his heart. Everyone loved him as he was such a kind, caring, respectful and funny man. He also loved to travel first with his wife and children, then his wife and eventually his granddaughter. They took many trips all over the US, once just over the border to Mexico and once to Canada. Several times to the Bahamas staying at the Atlantis resort and several times to Orange Beach Alabama. Loved the beaches and watching the Blue Angels practice in Pensacola Florida just down the road from Orange Beach. He was an avid Chiefs and Indy 500 fan. Driving his Saturn Sky convertible. He organized an impromptu Chiefs parade on Super Bowl Sunday afternoon 2/2/2020 in Gardner. It was so warm he and his wife were able to go top down with the Chiefs flag flying. His daughter and granddaughter got to be spectators with several other fans! He loved all kinds of music and playing his guitars. Actually, he started out in the marching band in high school playing the drums and also was a drummer for a small band Sweet Nectar. Loved going to concerts. Kiss was his favorite band and he also loved Peter Frampton & Styx. Seeing these bands multiple times even in different towns. His wife and he met because his sister Lora gave him Garth Brooks tickets as an early birthday present in 1996. He asked a friend of his if she knew someone and Sandy introduced him to Stacy. Ever since that introduction on 4/6/1996 they have been in love and made a wonderful life together.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Clayton Lewis and sister Lora McCollum. Bryan is survived by his wife Stacy of the home; beloved daughter Heather Lewis (Cole Gregg), and granddaughter Jazlynn Hubbard, Gardner, KS and his step-daughter Celeste Shepherd (Rob & his son Collin) and their children Aaralyn, Macen, Addison, and Raven, Lenexa, KS. Siblings Greg Lewis, Olathe, KS and Cheryl Heller, Grandview, MO, and numerous family and friends.
A Celebration of Life open house will be held at Spring Hill Community Center, 613 S. Race St., Spring Hill, KS on Saturday, August 14, 2021 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Food and drinks will be provided. Please bring your favorite memories and stories to share with everyone and just enjoy and celebrate the wonderful man who left us too soon.
In lieu of flowers or donations to some charity or society please take your loved one out to a nice dinner, a movie, skydiving or whatever you enjoy. Cherish and love one another in honor of Bryan.
