Lewis Albert Ottavi Jr.

July 5, 1949 - April 9, 2025

Lew Ottavi, Jr. of Virginia Beach, VA, passed away unexpectedly on April 9, 2025. He was 75. Lew is survived by his wife Marty, brother Ray, children Shannon McCarty and Greg Middleton, stepdaughters Lisa Ingold (Greg) and Amy Lehm, grandsons Shayne, Aaron, Keefe and Max (who affectionately called him “Papa Lew”), and his best doggy girls: Lucy Lou and Daisy Mae.

Lew was pre-deceased by his parents Lew Sr. and Dottie. He was an Air Force Veteran and he was the owner of East Coast Remodeling. He loved classic rock music and played bass guitar in a rock and roll band in the 60s. He was the first to get expelled from his high school for having long hair. He will be remembered for his sense of humor.

Lew enjoyed fishing and he was an avid golfer. Golf was Lew’s greatest joy and he golfed every week. He will be missed by family and friends, who imagine him playing 18 holes and winning, perhaps hitting his third hole in one in the beyond. Rest in peace Louie Louie.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations for Lew may be offered to an animal charity of choice. Please offer your fondest condolences to the family on the Cremation Society of Virginia website.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lew did some siding and windows for me. He was a very honest, good and personable person. We had many conversations about the city of Virginia Beach. He would talk about Marty and his puppies Lucy Lou and Daisy Mae. He suffered so much with pain and now he is at rest with our Lord.

We miss you but relieved to know you are no longer suffering from pain. May you rest in peace. Love, Marty, Lucy & Daisy 💔

Marty, I am so very surprised and sad at the passing of Lew. I understand how you must feel. Where has the time gone? Love, linda

Marty, Louie will be kingly missed by everyone who knows him! Louie and the OBGA have many good, crazy, funny memories and tall tales and stories galore. He will always be remembered as one avidly great golfer, husband, friend, dad & grandfather. We will miss him and his jokes and the laughter we all had together as our group. Please accept our deepest condolences and prayers for the family loss! REST IN PEACE LOU

Lewis was a very kind Uncle. Always was very nice to me. He always made me laugh. Sad we never got a chance to golf together. We did talk about that the last time I seen him. He's a very kind man. I know he will be very missed and his Brother Ray will miss him so very much. R.I.P. we love you.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I had the extreme pleasure to play many enjoyable rounds of golf with Lew and brother Ray in addition to their Dad, Lewis, Sr.. I have many fond memories of competing for birdies, greenies and sandies for quarters.and settling up in the clubhouse over a couple of beers after the round. I am hard-pressed to recall ever leaving with many, if any, of Lew's quarters. We will miss you here, Lew, but are consoled knowing that as you are now reunited with your Dad, and other golf buddies who preceded you, that you are now truly in Heaven. God Bless You!!

I offer my sincerist sympathies and deepest condolences. To Marty and family. Each week Lewis would forward me the tee times. Not anymore. He often called. To check on my health, and when would we would be able to play again.. Not anymore. I miss those times. i have the memories of our fishing trips. Golf expeditions And fun, we shared, Just being brothers. Thanks for being part of my life. I miss your brother.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
