Lewis T. Leach

May 28, 1972 - February 22, 2025

Lewis T. Leach, 52, of Beaumont, died Saturday, February 22, 2025. He was born on May 28, 1972, in Beaumont to Joanne Elizabeth Jenkins and James Thomas Leach.

He was a devoted father who cherished his family above all else. A proud patriot and former Marine, he served his country with honor and carried that dedication throughout his life. He was a skilled tradesman and a proud member of the Sheet Metal Workers Local Union 54, where he formed lasting friendships and took great pride in his work. For many years, he selflessly served as a volunteer firefighter, always ready to serve and protect his community with the same honor and bravery he carried throughout his life. In his free time, he found joy in geocaching, always embracing the adventure of discovery and sharing that passion with those he loved.

Survivors include his wife, Reneé Leach; daughter, Faith Leach; mother, Joanne Smith and her husband, Ed; siblings, Tommy Leach, Mike Leach, Linda Jackson, Chris Leach, and Jamie Holmes; and numerous extended family, loved ones, friends, and colleagues through the years.

    Renee and Faith, Lewis as you know was a very special person; strong, brave, kind, giving, smart, and so funny! I enjoyed when he came to the school. And will always remember when he dressed like a farmer and brought chicks on Texas Day for PK3 to hold and pet! He will be dearly missed. My prayers are with you in these tough times ahead.

    Renee and Faith,
    I was lucky enough to know Lewis for a very long time even though we had lost touch in the last 25 years, he always had a very special place in my heart. And I was so glad that he found you Renee and that you guys had beautiful Faith. Renee I know how very special that you had to be to him for him to settle down and start a family. He had a heart of gold. And all I remember growing up and being around him was laughing. I know you guys will hold all your memories so close to you and I hope that you have lots of memories that you look back on and smile. I am so so sorry for your loss. It truly breaks my heart for you Renee, I always thought from day one you two were made for each other. I will keep you and Faith in my prayers. Sending love to you both.
