Leonard “Butch” William Lewis, 77, of Sedan, KS, died Tuesday, June 4, 2024, in Oklahoma City. Butch is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Pamela; sons, Dale Lewis and wife Tara, and Robbie Lewis; sister, Karen Whiting; sister-in-law, Lois Lewis; grandchildren, Paige Lewis and Preston Lewis; and a host of other family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Cleo Lewis. Butch was born April 10, 1947, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma to Herbert William Lewis and Louise Ella Nelms. He graduated from Nowata High School in 1965. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1967 and honorably discharged in 1969. He attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Junior College and Oklahoma State University majoring in agricultural science. Throughout his life, Butch involved himself in many endeavors. He was a salesman for Purina and he owned and operated the Sedan Seed House in Sedan. He started a lawn care business around 1985, which he continued to run until he was physically unable. He worked for the US Postal Service. Perhaps one of his great accomplishments was serving as a law enforcement officer. He began as a reserve officer and eventually became the Sheriff of Chautauqua County. One of his greatest passions was Oklahoma Sooner football. He and Robbie would rarely miss a game. He also loved spending time with his grandchildren, Paige and Preston. He would take them fishing and show them the ways of the farm. Butch was a kind and considerate man. He was a great husband, father, grandfather and a friend to many. His passing will be a huge loss to the community, and he will be dearly missed.
