Jean-Paul Garcia Lewis 'JP', 41, of New Britain, Connecticut passed away March 29, 2017. He was born and raised in California and is predeceased by his parents, Larry and Teresita Lewis of South Pasadena. He is survived by his wife, Tessa, and his two sons, Michael and Elliot.

JP has resided in New Britain for the last 10 years, building and working at his private law practice. Aside from work, JP loved sporting events, boating, skiing, and spending time with his wife and kids. His smile, humor, and charisma were infectious and the world lost a truly great man. JP was deeply loved by family and friends, and words cannot express how much he will be missed.

JP also leaves behind his sister, Jessica Lewis Aguilera (SPHS '95) and her husband, Rodney, of Los Angeles, along with several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
