God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your eyes, and whispered “Peace Be Thine”. Your days of pain have passed, but to us who loved and lost you, your memory will never grow old.

On February 20, 1981, God blessed Charles and Mary Braxton with a beautiful baby boy at 8 pounds and 8 ounces of pure joy. They named him Charles Lemuel Braxton, III. When his great-grandmother saw his face for the first time, she said he looked like a “Little Man,” and the name stuck.

On June 30, 2026, the Lord called Little Man home, and it broke our hearts. Charles was survived by his wife, Virag “Angie” Braxton, and son, Maddox Lemuel Braxton; his sisters, Katherine B. Thomas and Martha Braxton; his nephew and nieces: Trey Hall, Celeste Messier, Gwendolyn (Gwen) Hall, and Victoria (Brian) Craig. Aunts, Daisy Jones, Dorthy Johnson, and Mary Johnson; and grandmother, Candis B. Braxton. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Charles L. Braxton, Sr., and maternal grandparents, Alexander Dewey and Emma H. Johnson; and Uncle MSG Frank L. Braxton, Sr.

In 1991, he graduated from Amherst County High School, where he played basketball, ran track, and was a cheerleader; during high school, Little Man and his friends created an all-black club called “Mahogany Alliance”. Little Man attended First Baptist Church and was a part of the Junior Choir and Junior Deacon board. In 2002, Little Man joined the US Army and made his life in Italy, where he met the love of his life, Angie, and raised his son, Maddox.

He made many friends, and a few enemies (maybe). The Sunday morning before he left for the military, he sang the song, “Jesus, you are the center of my Joy,” and that is how he lived his life. He was loved, gave love, and now he is gone but never forgotten.

A celebration of his life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at First Baptist Church, Coolwell. Service of comfort entrusted to Davis-Turner Funeral Service.

“Your life was a blessing; your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.”

With profound sadness and heartfelt love, we announce the passing of Frederick “Fresh” Lee Lewis, who entered eternal rest on Friday, July 3, 2026, at the age of 46.

Born on January 29, 1980, Fred lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Known affectionately as “Fresh,” he had a contagious smile, a warm heart, and a gift for making everyone feel welcome. Whether he was spending time with family, sharing stories with friends, or making others laugh, he left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Fred was a devoted father of six, a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandfather, and friend. His love for his family was evident in everything he did, and he cherished every moment spent with those he loved. Though his earthly journey has ended, his spirit, love, and legacy will live on through his family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him.

Fred’s greatest pride and joy was his children: Taznee Sandidge, Teonna Godfrey, Jaela Scott, Kayunce Stamps, Nyasia Lewis, and his youngest son, Prince Frederick Lewis. He loved each of them unconditionally. His daughters were always his “bad and boujiee girls,” and he shared a special bond with both his sons, whom he loved and cherished dearly.

Fred was also a proud grandfather to Ni’Mani Connor, Ni’yonni Scott, Alina Madison, and Neo Connor. His grandchildren brought him endless joy, and he loved and cherished them with all his heart.

Special recognition to his longtime special friend, Daisy Sandidge, for her love and support.

Fred is now reunited with his beloved grandparents, the late William and Clara McCoy, and his grandfather, the late Eugene Hood. He leaves behind his beloved grandmother, Jean Lewis; his loving mother, Shelia Burwell; his loving father, Fred McCoy; his cherished siblings, Robert Cook, Angela Lewis, Lisa Lewis, and Linda Lewis; cherished sisters, Angela Wade, Freda Elliott, and Nicole Wood; stepbrother, Jason Greer; his stepmother, Momma Doris; his beloved nieces and nephews; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins whom he loved dearly. Fred’s love for his family was unwavering, and they will forever cherish his memory.

Today, we celebrate not only the life he lived but also the love he gave so freely. While our hearts mourn his passing, we find comfort in knowing that love never dies, and his memory will remain with us forever.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever “Fresh.”

A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at Davis-Turner Funeral Service. Interment will be in the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery. Service of comfort entrusted to Davis-Turner Funeral Service.
