Bruce Wayne Lewis

Bruce Wayne Lewis, age 63, of Dahlonega passed away on March 4, 2022 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, GA. Bruce was a real estate agent and operated his own mold remediation company. He loved working with people. 

The beautiful mountains of North Georgia, including Dahlonega, Helen, and Lake Burton, were his favorite retreats. When Bruce's oldest children were young, he enjoyed annual trips to Amelia Island. It was there that he liked to casually display his gymnastics skills on the front lawn of his hotel. He also enjoyed vacationing in Jamaica, where he became scuba certified. Some of his most cherished memories include a cruise to Alaska and numerous trips to Mexico and the Caribbean. Bruce swam with the dolphins in the Grand Cayman Islands and petted stingrays in their Stingray City. Bruce explored Mayan ruins such as Chichen Itza in Mexico and the Lamanai ruins in Belize. Bruce loved to watch the sunsets from his new property in Dahlonega.

Most people describe Bruce as extremely friendly with a personality that could put anyone at ease. His charm was his best asset, as well as his wonderful voice and dazzling smile. He was an incredibly loving man and a devoted husband and father. He made friends everywhere he went and was loved by all who knew him.

He was born on May 30, 1959. He attended Henderson High School, where he excelled in his studies. He attended the University of Georgia on a full gymnastics’ scholarship. He graduated in 1981 with a dual degree in Accounting and Education. He then taught Business classes until he and his brother Gary started their own textile mill.
