Anthony W. Lewis   b. 24 Oct. 1972   d. 20 July 2004
Grand Traverse County Death Record  
--------------------------------------
INTERLOCHEN - Beautiful little Anthony "Tony" Lewis was born in Traverse City 
on Oct. 24, 1972 to Larry and Mary (McMaster) Lewis. He left this earth on 
Tuesday, July 20, 2004. 
      Tony attended Interlochen Community School and graduated from Traverse 
City Central High School. For several years, Tony was the loyal employee of 
Nick Boudjalis at Long Lake Inn. He lived in the Interlochen area his entire 
short life.
      If you had known Tony, it would have been easy to see why so many of us 
loved him and why our hearts are filled with grief at his sudden leaving. Even 
though our Tony went through many struggles, he recently shared that he had 
finally come to realize that, yes, God did love him and he in return loved God.
      Tony loved the earth. He saw and cherished the beauty of her roaring 
rivers and falls, the gentleness of her streams and brooks, along with the 
grandeur of her forests. He very much enjoyed hunting, especially with his dad, 
Larry. Children were a great joy to him and his numerous cats were an important 
part of his life. Hardly anyone could ever find morel mushrooms with more 
success than Tony. He put his exceptional math skills to good use in helping 
his sisters with their homework and he had tremendous artistic talent. 
      Tony will be fondly remembered by his family, a multitude of friends and 
his co-workers at Boone's Long Lake Inn. He will be remembered in prayer by his 
spiritual God-parents, Jeanne O'Hearn and Deacon Rene Hoenscheid.
      Tony is survived by his parents, Larry and Nan (Couturier) Lewis; his 
loving sisters, Amanda Marie, Ashley Anne and Alissa Jean Lewis; grandparents, 
Deneen and Clarabell (Roddy) Lewis, Stan and Adell (Couturier) Maksimowicz, 
Shirley Savage, and Fred (Lucy) Couturier; and his birth mother, Mary Bailey. 
He will be missed by his aunts, uncles, and cousins, Janice (Al) Mowers, 
Christopher (Sally) Mowers, Rob (Cheryl) Mowers, Bob (Pam) Lewis, Brian Lewis, 
Skip (Mary) Couturier, Justin and Ryan Couturier, Kent Couturier, Holly (Chay) 
Gray, Nadia, Diane (Dan) McArthur, Ian McArthur, Eric Batterson, Michael 
(Holly) Couturier, Gabe Couturier, Candy (Dave) Whittaker, Lane Whittaker, Niki 
Begley, Denise DeLorme, and Nate and Chad DeLorme. Also left to mourn is his 
partner, Peggy (Kuhlman) Verherkmoes; and her sons, Spec. Brian Verherkmoes, 
Nathan (Karla) Verherkmoes, and their children, Daena, Valencia and Karizma 
Verherkmoes.
      Friends may call at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City 
today, July 23, 2004, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Services will be held at 
the funeral home on Saturday, July 24, 2004 at 11 a.m. The Rev. Fr. Bill 
Lipscomb will officiate the services. Burial will take place at a later date.
      In remembrance of Tony, memorial contributions may be directed to either 
the Cherryland Humane Society or to Mass intentions.
      "I raise my eyes toward the mountains, from where will my help come? My 
help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2.
