James personified creativity and humor, gracing the world with his presence for 36 years. His love and legacy is carried on through his beloved daughter Rylann Rae Lewis, whom he adored with every fiber of his being; the love of his life, Deanna Leonti, and his treasured bonus daugher, Avery Leonti. His vibrant spirit lives on in the hearts of his brother, Danny, Dedrick, Micah, Isaac; and his father, James Lewis Sr. James was preceded in death,by his loving mom, Sandy Madril. As a true mama's boy, he was eager to see her again. Each family member was a precious thread in the tapestry of his life, which he protected and loved with an unconditional intensity.

 

Professionally, James was a dynamic force, with undeniable charisma. A talented rapper, he could command the attention of a crowd and electrify the atmosphere with his performances. His passion for music was undeniable. He excelled in sales, where he was known for his persuasive charm and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. James brought joy and creativity to every endeavor, making lasting impressions on those he worked with and served.

 

Outside of work, he lived for the moments spent with his daughter, sharing his love for life through their precious time together. His love for rapping was more than a talent; it was a form of self-expression that revealed his emotional depth. Fast cars weren't just machines to James; they symbolized the exhilarating pace at which he chose to experience life. James infectious smile and wit brought joy to any room he walked in. 

 

 

As the life of the party, James could effortlessly entertain, making the most mundane gathering memorable. His performances in front of live crowds brought so much joy to James and everyone around him. Friends, family, and even acquaintances would agree that James was funny, creative, and captivating. He was always encouraging those around him to embrace their unique paths with boldness. 

James's love for great food mirrored his appetite for life—voracious and full of flavor. His contagious energy always kept the good times rolling. He had an innate ability to make every moment count, to show compassion, live fully and love deeply. James's was a fearless protector of those he loved, (His Brothers keeper) a guardian and a rock. Whether James was making you laugh, or comforting you while you cried, his loveable character showed. James had many roles in life-- a father, a fianceé, a brother, son, cousin and beloved friend. Above all, he was a child of God. We believe we will see him again. Untill then, he will await our presence in Heaven peacefully, along side his Mom.
