DOTHAN… Larry Frank Lewis, Sr., a resident of Dothan and Abbeville on Lake Eufaula, passed away Tuesday morning, May 19, 2026, at a Dothan Alabama hospital with his family by his side. He was 85 years old.
Larry Lewis was born and raised in Wadesboro, North Carolina, and was the son of the late Frank Washington Lewis and Ruth Thompson Lewis. He was preceded in death by his brother, Lannie Lewis, and his daughter, Beth Lewis Jones.
Surviving relatives include his loving wife, Mary Elizabeth Martin Lewis; two sons, Larry Frank Lewis, II, of Abbeville Alabama, and Christopher Martin Lewis (Kalandra), of Ft. Myers, Florida; a sister, Lynn Lewis Lee of Wadesboro, North Carolina; a brother, Trailor Lewis (Linda) of North Carolina; grandchildren, Loryn Wooten (Mike), Trey Lewis, Olivia Jones, Dylan Lewis, and Kettner Lewis; and great-grandchildren, Lucas Wooten, Samuel Wooten, and Nora Wooten.
Larry was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. One thing was certain, you always knew where you stood with him. He was honest, direct, and never left anything open-ended.
After spending over 35 years in the telecommunications industry, he retired as a Senior Vice President in 1999. Larry spent his early retirement years enjoying offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and hunting at his club in Alabama. He later purchased property and created his own paradise for his family to enjoy.
Nothing brought him greater happiness than seeing his family gathered together at the farm or at the lake, hunting, fishing, and making memories. Larry especially loved spending time on his tractor, and if he could have chosen, that is probably where he would have wanted to spend his final moments.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to your favorite charity.
A celebration of life will be held in the coming months. Family and friends will be notified.
