Call me Dad!
Early in our lives we called our father by his first name, Ben. We didn’t know any difference, we just called him Ben. One day, he picked me up from Delay middle school in Lewisville Tx. We stopped at the 7/11 off 121 and he bought me a candy bar. After getting back into the car, I said “thank you Ben”. He turned to me and you can call me Dad….I want you to start calling me Dad. So from then on, I did!
Love Benji
My father, Ben Lewis Jr., was a fighter - not the kind you see on a ring, but a fighter for what truly mattered: his family.
He fought for his wife, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
He was a teacher of patience, a mentor, and a lifeline to those who loved and cared for him.
He came from nothing, but he built something lasting: strength,respect, and purpose. He showed us that true character isn't measured by how many times you get knocked down, but by how many times you get back up.
My father stood for something... He stood for respect towards one another and made an impact that will live far beyond this day.
As we prepare to lay him to rest, we are not burying who he was - we carry his legacy with us every day: at school, on the job, at home, in the grocery store, and even in traffic jams.
Rest easy, Dad. You fought a good fight, and we will always love you.
