Lewis McNealy was born on February 24, 1932 on Tamo, Arkansas to Robert McNealy and Emma Thorner. His brothers Bob and Roosevelt, and his sister Lucille McNealy preceded him in death, as well as one son, Byron Watson. He passed away suddenly in St. Louis on March 30, 2014.

Lewis served his country in the United States Army and was a proud veteran of the Korean War.

Lewis was a traveling man who always had his children on the highway at least twice a year. It was always a trip to Arkansas, Cape Girardeau, or South Bend, Indiana visiting his family whom he loved dearly.

He enjoyed his music and good times with family and friends.

He leaves to cherish his memory; one loving sister- Shirley Smith of Cape Girardeau, Missouri; his five beloved children; Malcolm, Rory, Gerald, Louis and Felicia Watson, all of St. Louis, Missouri; as well as a host of nephews and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We will always remember and miss our Daddy, Uncle Honey, Uncle Lewis, Pops and G.P.
