Mario Danny Edward Lewis

MARIO DANNY EDWARD LEWIS DEPARTED THIS EARTH AND GAINED HIS WINGS ON JANUARY 31, 2026.

MARIO WAS BORN IN FRIEDBERG, GERMANY ON JUNE 25, 1963, TO MARGOT HEDWIG AND EDWARD LEWIS.

AS AN ADOLESCENT HE RELOCATED TO CINCINNATI, OHIO AND WAS BROUGHT UP BY HIS PARENTS SONJA AND EDWARD LEWIS.

MARIO BETTER KNOWN AS "POPS" WAS A COURAGEOUS, PROUD, AND FIERCELY INDEPENDENT MAN WHOSE STRENGTH SHOWED IN EVERYTHING HE DID. HE WAS KNOWN FOR BEING HARDWORKING AND STUBBORN IN THE BEST WAY-ONCE HE SET HIS MIND TO SOMETHING, THERE WAS NO STOPPING HIM. HE LIVED LIFE ON HIS OWN TERMS.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, MARIO LOVED HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN DEEPLY. HIS FAMILY MEANT EVERYTHING TO HIM, AND HIS LOVE FOR THEM WAS UNCONDITIONAL. HE HAD A BRAVE HEART AND A STRONG SPIRIT, AND HE TRULY ENJOYED HIS INDEPENDENCE AND STAYING ACTIVE.

MARIO HAD A GREAT LOVE FOR MUSIC AND A MOVIE COLLECTION THAT HE ENJOYED WATCHING WITH HIS FAMILY. HE HAD A NATURAL TALENT FOR WORKING WITH HIS HANDS. BEFORE LOSING HIS MOBILITY, HE ESPECIALLY LOVED WORKING ON CARS-TAKING THINGS APART, FIGURING OUT HOW THEY WORKED, AND PUTTING THEM BACK TOGETHER.
