Lewis, Landis Duwayne (Age 62) of Oxon Hill, Maryland.

Landis "Duwayne" Lewis was born May 31, 1951, in Washington, DC to Rosalie Scott Lewis and the late Willie Landis Lewis. After leaving DC Public Schools, Duwayne went to work for the Architect of the Capitol, in Washington, DC, where he worked for over ten years, assisting in delivering furniture and helping to set-up Congressional Offices. He enjoyed his job and his co-workers. Duwayne, also worked for several small contractors where he cleaned Government Office Buildings and drove Airport Shuttles.

Duwayne was an easygoing, fun loving, happy-go-lucky kind of person who always kept family and friends laughing; he could always find humor in any situation. He was definitely a Mama's Boy. He loved living at home and never ventured very far except to live in Detroit, MI for a short-time, to be closer to the Motown scene and his favorite singing group, the Four Tops.

Duwayne departed this life on Thursday, March 13, 2014, at his home in Oxon Hill, Maryland, after a short battle with cancer.
