Zedekiah Lewis

Zedekiah Lewis better known as Vincent, Vinny & China Man was born June 7, 1941 in St. Catherin West Indies. Vinny is the fourth child of 14 children. He is predeceased by both parents Jeremiah and Leonora Lewis, two sisters Cynthia and Esmin Lewis and one brother Ruben Lewis. Vinny leaves behind his only son Jabrohn Lewis, two daughters Charmaine and Molly Lewis, three stepdaughters Chanetta, Chantee and Chabreeka Garner. Six grandchildren and six step grandchildren. He also leaves behind five brothers James, Archebald, Erza, Ruddy and Randal. Five sisters Carmen, Jenny, Dorothy, Happi and Hazel. A host of nieces, nephews, cousin and a battalion of friends. Vinny attended school in his hometown for a little while but did not graduate. He had to work to help provide for his family. Though he did not graduate he acquired a natural skill and gift as a handyman. He later came to the states in the late 70 early 80 where he became one of the best handy man around. He could fix anything. Not only could he fix anything he could cook everything. Vinny was a man of many skills and talents, you were lucky to have known him. He spoke his mind and was always honest. He always had a story, one that will have you hanging on to the edge of your seat. He was that type of man-well respected by many, loving, powerful, generous, truthful and most of all hard working. He lived a long life with those to love him and whom he loved. May his soul rest in peace.
