Douglas D. Lewis 1952-2026

He was born Friday, Nov. 28, 1952, in Portland, Maine, son of Robert and Jessie Peacock Lewis Sr.

Dr. Lewis lived a life marked by dedication to his profession, his family and his community. A graduate of Freeport High School, Dr. Lewis pursued higher education with earnest commitment. He earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Maine at Orono, then continued his studies to become a physical assistant at George Washington University. His academic journey culminated with a medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1990.

Upon completing his education, Dr. Lewis and his wife, Kathleen relocated, to the Youngstown area, where he was honored to complete residency training at the Youngstown Hospital Association at Northside Hospital.

Dr. Lewis was not only a skilled physician but also a proud Air Force veteran who served during the Vietnam War. He was a member of the American Legion, demonstrating his enduring commitment to his country and fellow veterans. Those who knew him remember a man who cherished spending time with his family and enjoyed various creative pursuits such as drawing, photography and reading. He found joy in working outdoors in the yard as well as tending to projects inside the house.

He is survived by his beloved wife, the former Kathleen Felker, whom he married Aug. 11, 1973; and his sons, Patrick of Columbus; Geoffrey, along with his wife Erica, of Youngstown; and Michael of Youngstown. His three grandchildren, Kennedy, Ian and Easton, brought him immense joy.
