On August 21, 2026, Ronald “Ron” Wayne Lewis entered his heavenly home at the age of 67.
Ron was the son of Wayne and Ingeborg Lewis and grew up in St. Louis, Mo, and Vienna, Austria. Ron is survived by his wife, Peggy (Allen), his daughters, Margaret (Micah) Miller and Marsha (Hunter) Forester, as well as his dear grandson, Lewis Miller, who fondly called him “Ope.”
Ron married Peggy in November of 1987, and they were beyond blessed with their two daughters, Margaret and Marsha. He loved art, outdoor concerts, trains, reading, cacti, Vienna, and, most of all, his family, or as he often referred to them, “his girls.”
Ron will be remembered for his kind heart, quiet service to others, passion for art and knowledge, and deep love for Jesus.
Friends and family are invited to the service on Wednesday, August 26, at 10:00 a.m. at Kutis Funeral Home in Affton, followed by a gathering afterwards with the family.
This saddens my heart. Ron was my neighbor for 28 years. A very quiet but nice gentleman. He walked every day. I admired his like for cactus plants that I started getting my own. I watch as him and his wife raise their little girls scouts into beautiful adult women.. I will miss seeing him across the street cutting his grass or attending to his plants, more than you know.
God Rest now my kind neighbor, God has called you home. 💕🙏
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Uncle Ron. He will be dearly missed. Our thoughts are with his family.
Very saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. Ron was a great friend to many people, including me. He was an especially, consistently kind friend from college days at UMSL. After college I lived in another state, and we lost track of each other. Some years ago, I moved back to St. Louis. At a local outdoor concert, we starting talking, eventually recognized each other, and remembered we had been friends in college. Ron was a positive person, a gentleman, and always had a smile with friendly greeting when we met. In a group of people, Ron made time to talk with each person. He was a very good listener and asked good questions. Just a couple of weeks ago we went to a small concert at a local art exhibit. Ron was sincere in his faith in Jesus. Jesus Christ was at the center of his life. Peggy, Margaret, Marsha, and the other family are in our prayers during this difficult time.
We knew Ron through years of our children’s involvement in skating and more recently through connecting at local concerts. He and Peggy created a beautiful family and their devotion to each other and their girls as well as to their faith defined them. We are keeping Peggy and family in our thoughts at this very sad time.
