Jacob "Jake" Sawyer Lewis

     Jacob James Sawyer Lewis, 44, of Robbinsville, North Carolina, passed away on September 9, 2025.

     Born on November 10, 1980, he would have celebrated his 45th birthday in the coming November. Jacob was the beloved son of Donna Sawyer and Noel Jones, and James (Porkie) Lewis, and the cherished nephew of Rita Sawyer, Lisa Millsaps, and the grandson of Dorthy Rogers. He was a devoted father to his two daughters, Olivia Lewis, whom he lovingly called his princess, and Kayli Lewis.

He was known for his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help anyone in need. Jacob had a deep passion for cars, a fascination with knives and guns and above all, a profound love for his family. He will be remembered as a loyal friend, a caring son, and most importantly, an extraordinary father.
