By obits

Dane Joseph Lewis, 63, of Greensburg, passed away Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh, with his wife by his side. He was born Dec. 2, 1956, in Roscoe, the son of Warren and Bonnie Wehousie Lewis of Roscoe. Dane was a huge fan of his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, where he received his degree in pharmacology in 1979. Dane was a lifetime employee of Excela Health System as a pharmacist, a lead pharmacist and ended as a manager. He attended New Stanton Church and had a membership at L.A. Fitness. He loved spending time with his friends and watching the Pittsburgh sports teams. What Dane enjoyed the most was spending time with his family whom he loved so much. Dane’s smile was contagious, his hug was sincere. He touched more people in his 63 years than he would ever realize and he did so by simply being himself. He was preceded in death by an aunt and uncle, Mary Jo and Donald Smith. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife, Linda A. Cunningham Lewis, three sons, Brandon Lewis and wife Jenna of Greensburg, Timothy Zontek and wife Danielle of Greensburg, and Paul Zontek and wife Sarah of Herminie; two daughters, Lindsay Levendosky and husband E.J. of Scottdale, and Angela Zontek of Greensburg; seven grandchildren, Ethan, Austin, Abrahm, Lillian, Aiden, Logan and Rosalyn and one anticipated baby Lewis. He is also survived by his sister, Lori Popelas and husband Ronald of Columbus, Ohio; and their children, Paige Cyrus and husband Matt, Cody Popelas and wife Lauren and Cole Popelas. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at LEO M. BACHA FUNERAL HOME, INC., 516 Stanton St., Greensburg. His funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. Tuesday at New Stanton Church, 612 S. Center Ave., New Stanton, with Pastor Stephen M. Bane officiating. Please go directly to the church. Interment will follow in Westmoreland County Memorial Park, Hempfield Township. Please be prepared to adhere to all current health guidelines, including face masks and social distancing. www.bachafh.com.
