Lewis Arthur Pettus

Lewis Arthur Pettus, 72, of England, passed away on January 19, 2025, after a long and fulfilling life.

Lewis was born on April 15, 1952, in Blakemore, AR. He graduated from Carver

High School in 1970 and started working at Jacuzzi Brothers, Inc. in Lonoke. When

the Jacuzzi plant closed, Lewis worked at Scheidt-Baugh Cabinets, Inc. before

venturing out on his own and forming Pettus and Sons Construction. Lewis is the

oldest of 13 children and the eldest son of Betty J. Scribner. Lewis was “big bruh” to

his five brothers: Earl Scribner, Dale Scribner, Marvin Scribner, Dwight Scribner and

Kevin Scribner and seven sisters: Towonda Donahue, Vonda Hayes, Karron Shelton,

Tina Doss, Verna Reed, Teresa Scribner and the late Elsie Bunch.

In recent years, he enjoyed spending time with “his grandbabies” Kamdyn and Kason.

Lewis loved renovating and repairing houses and pointing out other builders’ errors

and mistakes. Lewis never fully retired as he spent much of his time looking for odd

jobs and eating a half gallon of ice cream every day.

Lewis was predeceased by his sister, Elsie Bunch. He is survived by his children:

Cedric, Antonio, Paris, and Belinda Pettus-Fletcher (Mario), and his 12 grandchildren:

Cedric, Jr., Devonta, Rico, Isis, Noel, Antonio, Jr., Destiny, Neo, Theo, Reo, Kamdyn,

and Kason and eight great-grandchildren.

Services will be held at Sunset Memorial Gardens, 1590 US-70, Lonoke, AR 72086

on January 25, 2025, at 12:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Saint Mark

Missionary Baptist Church Benevolent fund (3725 Hwy 161 North Little Rock, AR

72117); a fund that Lewis felt strongly about to help local community members.
