In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
LEWIS, Mark William Charles - It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Mark William Charles Lewis, age 64, on May 6th, 2021. He was born in Ontario but moved to Halifax when he was 18 after basic training in the Canadian Armed Forces. He was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Navy for 8 years until the entrepreneurial spirit came out and for the rest of his working career was his own boss. He had a great love of horses and spend many years riding, coaching and training until he moved from 4-legged horsepower to 4 tire horsepower and loved re-entering the drag racing scene that he enjoyed as a teenager.
His love of horses was passed on to his children who rode and showed for years and his daughter Brandy has carried on with her own farm. His son Joshua wanted to learn about racing, so the next thing you knew there was a race car in yard. The Nova Scotia Drag Racing community welcomed us with open arms and have enjoyed many years racing and his love of all thing with power will live on in his children and with any luck there will be a new member when she is old enough to enjoy both riding and racing.
He is survived by his wife Angela (Henderson) son Joshua (Melanie) daughter Brandy, (Bryce Munroe) and Granddaughter Wynter, sister Shirley and sister Gail and second father figure to Daniel (Wall) He was predeceased by his father William (Bill) mother Frances and brother Jim. Cremation has taken place and no service is planned.
No flowers please any donation to be made to the Veterans Association or a local animal shelter.
