Greg Lewman

Greg Lewman, an influential member of the community and owner of Greg's Auto on Siggins Street, passed away on June 26th, 2024, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born on September 7th, 1949, in Bartlett, Kansas, to George Ralph and  Floreine Anna (Holt) Lewman. Greg's life journey was one of dedication, kindness, and expertise.

Greg's career as a master auto mechanic at Greg's Auto spanned decades during which he touched the lives of many with his exceptional and unwavering integrity. His patrons consistently praised him for being trustworthy, honest, and simply the best in town. Greg was not just a mechanic; he was a mentor to those around him with his generosity and penchant for teaching others.

In addition to his professional achievements, Greg was admired by his family for his vast knowledge and deemed a genius by those closest to him. His family fondly remembered how they never needed to consult Google when Greg was around, they simply “Gregled”; his wisdom and guidance were always readily available.

His elementary education began in Liberty, Kansas with his eight siblings who together made up a significant portion of their school, Greg excelled and completed his high school education at Labette County High School at the tender age of 16. His dedication to learning and hard work was evident from an early age.

In October of 1969 Greg married Debbie Wilmoth and of that union two children were born Jeff and Jon. The couple later divorced but the mutual love for their children remained. On November 26th, 1981, he married his best friend, Peggy Duncan and the two have shared forty-two years together. 

Aside from his career accomplishments and educational pursuits, Greg's personality shone brightly through his various interests and roles. An avid horseman, he found immense joy in participating in the Coffeyville Fair and Rodeo every year. His commitment to his family was unwavering - as a loving husband, father, and grandpa, he cherished every moment spent with them.

A man of many passions, Greg always had a "Good" project underway that showcased his creativity and industrious spirit. Whether it was fixing cars or enriching the lives of those around him, he approached everything with love and care.

Greg will be deeply missed by all that knew him, but not more than his wife, Peggy of the home, sons Jeff and Jon Lewman, grandchildren Hannah, Amanda, Kylie, Jeffrey and Keenon, numerous great-grandchildren, brothers Gary, Gene, Glen, Guy, George, Gilbert Lewman and sisters Glenda Boyle and Geneva Lewman-McCrory and a host of friends and extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents. 

Services to honor and remember Greg will be held on July 6th, 2024, at the First Presbyterian Church, 402 W.8th in Coffeyville, Kansas at 2:00 PM for friends and family to pay their respects and celebrate the life of this remarkable man who left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
