Patrick “Frenchy” Lewis would like to let you know his work here is done, as he passed away on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Memorial services were held on Thursday, January 20, 2022 at Scottsboro Funeral Home.
Frenchy was born on Thursday, August 28, 1947 in a small town outside Paris, France. He came to America in 1958 and became a citizen in June of 1965. He was known as a master craftsman, jack-of-all-trades, and his family fondly referred to him as, the mayor. Frenchy was known and loved by all, especially in the small town of Scottsboro that welcomed him with open arms many years ago. He deeply loved his children, grandchildren and late wife, Laurel. Frenchy was proud of his heritage and made it known that his earthly remains are to be returned to his homeland of Paris. His new mission takes him to a place of peace where he will be storytelling, gardening and creating beautiful woodwork alongside his creator, Jesus Christ. There will be plenty of stories, laughter and love, guaranteed. This is not goodbye, but jusqu’a la prochaine fois avec beaucoup d’amour (until next time, with much love).
Frenchy is survived by his children, Patrick (Danielle) Lewis, Kelly Knudsen; grandchildren, Jagger Williams, Kayden and Kya Knudsen; stepchildren, Rachel (Al) Hannink, Joseph (Regina) Ybarra; step-grandchildren, Brent and Cole Sienko, Jacob and Madelyn Ybarra; brother, Marc (Sharon) Lewis; various other beloved family members and friends all over the world. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Laurel Lewis.
