James Thurmond Lewis Sr.

May 17, 1957 - July 8, 2017

James Thurmond Lewis, Sr. 60 of Gladstone, Missouri went to be with his Lord and Savior in the late evening hours of July 8, 2017 with beloved family near by at home. A true man of class and style, many know that James was a professional driver for a limousine service and he was a gifted musician, playing trombone with the Northland Cathedral Orchestra. James was an avid collector of cast model cars. His humor kept everyone on their toes and they enjoyed themselves when he was around. He loved his church family. He considered his brothers and sisters in Christ his second family and he was a faithful man of God with a tremendous testimony. He met his wonderful wife, Delia Robles playing in the Jesus Jazz Band that played at Sheffield Family Life Center; he playing trombone and Dee playing percussion. They were inseparable for a majority of their life together. When James took ill, Dee stayed by his side caring for him until his final breath on this side and his first in Glory. We will certainly miss James here, but we look forward to the Great Reunion! Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Dee Lewis of the home, children: Deidra Sheppard, James T Lewis Jr. , William Z Lewis and siblings; Lure Robinson , Roy Lewis Sr. , Debra Williams, and Wesley Lewis. A Celebration of James' life will be July 20th at Northland Cathedral 101 NW 99th St KC MO 64155 with Visitation at 6pm and Service at 7pm featuring James' beloved Northland Cathedral Orchestra with a honorable trombone solo by Dr. Chris Waage.
