Gordon Ray Lewis
July 22, 1949 - Nov 16, 2018

Gordon Ray Lewis, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and uncle began his new life in Heaven on November 16, 2018. Gordon lived his life with strength, humor, courage, and perseverance. Family and friends alike were drawn to his wise counsel and his quiet but quick wit.

Gordon was born on July 22, 1949 in Brenham, TX to Rufus and Lillian Lewis of Somerville, TX. It was during his formative years in Somerville that Gordon learned the value of family, friends, and a strong work ethic, and he made many friendships there that lasted his lifetime. After graduating from Somerville High School in 1967, he enrolled at Texas A&M where he studied accounting. Upon his 1971 graduation from Texas A&M, he earned his CPA and began working for Haskins & Sells accounting firm in Houston. 1971 was also the year he married Carol Stout, and she survives him today.

In 1973 Gordon began the career in banking that would span his lifetime. That career began at First National Bank, Corsicana, TX (1973-1979) and then continued to First National Bank, Greenville, TX where he served as President (1979-1986). His next move was to First United Bank, Meridian, MS as President and CEO (1986-1989). It was from Mississippi that Gordon moved his family to Nacogdoches where he served as President and CEO of Fredonia State Bank (1989-2007). Returning to Mississippi in 2007, he served as Vice-Chairman of BancorpSouth, Tupelo until his retirement in 2014. Upon that retirement, he and Carol returned to Nacogdoches to make it their home.

Demonstrating an attitude of obedience to the command to present oneself to God as a worker who need not be ashamed, Gordon committed both time and energy along with his knowledge and expertise to numerous community boards in Corsicana, Greenville, Meridian, and Nacogdoches. Locally, he served NEDCO, Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce, SFA Foundation Board, and BancorpSouth Advisory Board. As a faithful member of First Baptist Church Nacogdoches, he served various committees there. He was a tireless and valued member to each group he served.

Gordon loved his alma mater Texas A&M as well as SFASU, and he was a great supporter of both universities. In times of relaxation and entertainment, he enjoyed many interests: he was a sports fan, an avid reader, had a great appreciation for music, and thoroughly enjoyed being grandfather to the dear children who always put the twinkle in his eyes.

Predeceasing him are his parents and his brothers Kenneth W. Lewis and Rufus Lewis, Jr. Surviving him are his wife Carol, daughter Jill Lewis Varnell (Jeremy) of Lewisville, TX, sons Hugh Lewis (Heather) of Austin, TX and Clay Lewis (Stephanie) of Rowlett, TX, grandchildren Braden Peeler; Kyle, Luke, and Adelaide Varnell; and Holland Lewis, as well as sister-in-law Joyce Lewis, sister-in-law Debbie Slott and husband Jack, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and cousins.

The family wishes to thank the many doctors who attended Gordon, Life Care Hospice Services, and Rhonda Henry and team for loving, compassionate care.

Though Gordon's last few years were marked with pain from an injury and his last months with the devastating effects of cancer and its treatment, he never complained. His faith was in his God and he lived that faith daily, often sharing encouragement with others who needed it. He was a loving, gracious, selfless husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His influence will forever be a part of those who knew and loved him.

At 1:00 PM on Tuesday, November 20 a Celebration of Life service will be held in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church, Nacogdoches. Visitation and a reception at the Fredonia Hotel will follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the First Baptist Church Renovation Fund.

J. M. HENRY IS 79 YEARS OLD TODAY; HERE FOR 47 YEARS

HAS WORDS OF PRAISE FOR OLD TIMERS AND CHILDREN WHO FOLLOWED THEM

J. M. Henry is celebrating his 79 birthday today and is enjoying excellent health for one of his age. There was no special occasion, just a quiet observance of the day.

Mr. Henry said that he looked back over a period of 47 years spent in Corsicana he enjoyed his experiences and observations during that time. He said that he had mixed hard work with some play since arriving in Corsicana and that he was glad to have lived in a city of such high cultural standards.

In speaking of the progress that he had observed while living here Mr. Henry said that he has seen practically all of the places of public worship grow from little "shotgun" buildings to fine edifices and he was especially complimentary concerning the churches.

"When I came here the Daily Sun was published by two men and a pressman and now there are 35 employees on the staff and it is housed in its own modern building. News at that time was almost wholly local, and now the Daily Sun is a metropolitan newspaper with news from all over the world." Mr. Henry said.

Recalls Old Timers.
In discussing the old timers, Mr. Henry mentioned Wiley Johnson, "Uncle" Billy Polk, W. J. Edens, N. B. Edens, Jim Nick Garitty, Sr., B. Marks, J. M. McCammon, Sam R. Frost, Charlie Croft, Bill Tatum, Jimmie Kerr, Judge Kerr, A. A. Wortham, J. H. Martin and numerous others, who have passed on. Mr. Henry said that almost all of the men who were 35 or 40 years old when he came here are dead, but he added their children are carrying on. They are taking the lead in civic, religious and political affairs and are maintaining the high standard set by the old timers.

Mr. Henry has five living children: John Henry, Dallas, Jim Henry, Beaumont; Mrs. Cora Bosniack, Dallas; Mrs. Alge Mae Phillips, St. Lake City, and Mrs. Gladys Price, Corsicana.
