Portsmouth, VA  –  With a heavy heart we announce the passing of Justin Robert Lewis.

Justin Robert Lewis, 39, was born on March 25, 1986, and passed away on August 10, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and adventure that will be remembered always.

Justin lived life with a free spirit and an open heart. He found peace in the beauty of nature, whether standing at the ocean’s edge or exploring the quiet strength of the mountains. He had a passion for riding his motorcycle, a joy that reflected his adventurous soul and love of the open road. Justin also had a deep love for animals — all animals — and cared for them with kindness and compassion.
