Lewis Thorne Obituary, Death – Lewis Thorne was a good friend and respected member of the HCPCC board of directors. His departure has left all of us here with sorrowful hearts. We ask that you join us in praying for his wife Nancy and for all of their children and grandchildren. What a remarkable illustration of what love should be like and how one should live their life he is; what a wonderful legacy he leaves behind.
The following is the post that Nancy, Lewis’s wife, shared on their Facebook page:
“It is so difficult to type these words, but the truth is starting to set in that on Wednesday, after a sudden medical occurrence at home, Lewis Thorne closed his eyes on this planet and opened them to see Jesus Christ, his savior. It is sinking in that Lewis Thorne has passed away.
Even though we are in pain right now, we take comfort in the idea that he is in a better place and that we will one day be reunited with him. As he has always been a competitor, he feels the need to always come in first, and he has once again accomplished this! 1 Thessalonians 4:13 says, “We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you may not mourn as others do who have no hope.
” We do not want you to be uneducated because we do not want you to grieve like other people who have no hope.
