Born in Hawthorne, Nevada, on January 27, 1944, to Charles Douglas Lewis and Beatrice Stewart Lewis,

Fenwick was raised in Liberty, and graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in Business Administration in 1967. He lived in Jackson, and found success professionally in the insurance business. In 1970 he left Jackson and moved several times before settling in Novato, California, where he and his former wife, Mary Aileen Ratcliff Lewis, raised their family.

Fenwick loved traveling the country, reading, and cherishing time with his 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Fenwick is sur

vived by his wife, Anne, his siblings: Douglas, Jane (Griffin), and Michael; his children, Stewart Lewis (Michele), Chris Lewis (Amy), Marley Wilkes (Geoff), and Katherine; his 10 grandchildren: Morgan (John), Madison (Preston), Marissa (Michael), Ryan, Libby, Emmy, Ben, Abby, Geoffrey, Lillian; and his 4 great grandchildren: Walker, Brynnlee, Maverick, and Dawson.

Fenwick had so many wonderful cousins and extended family that he loved dearly.

Fenwick was predeceased by his grandson, Owen Lewis and his great granddaughter, Baylor Halgat.

Our Papa will be remembered for his unwavering love, kindness, and dedication to his family and friends. He loved to build and tinker at his workbench and showed his love through his eagerness to help his children and grandchildren with big projects. He loved planning his next trip to see his grandkids at their graduations, weddings, sports, golfing, and of course, he loved sharing a giant dessert with them!

Pallbearers will be Stewart Lewis, Chris Lewis, Geoff Wilkes, Griff Norquist, Dave Bellina, Ryan Lewis, John Halgat, Preston Deruelle, and Michael Hamp. Arrangements are under the direction of Hartman Jones Funeral Home, McComb.
