Lewis F. Rheppard Jr., 73, of Granville Summit, passed away on Friday, February 6, 2026, at his home. Born on February 24, 1952, in Vineland, New Jersey, Lewis was the son of the late Lewis Rheppard Sr. and Betty (Pick) Rheppard.

Known to many as Lew, he worked as a dedicated truck driver for Welles Mill Company in Wysox for 21 years until his retirement. He took great pride in his work and truly valued the customers he served.

Lew loved riding his motorcycle, especially alongside the Troy American Legion Riders. He had a natural gift for connecting with people, always ready for a good conversation, and was well‑known for his wonderful sense of humor.

Lew is survived by his spouse of 45 years, Cheryl Dyer, at home; his daughters, Cindy Adams and Suann Dyer; his sister, Barbara (Dennis) Abriola; his grandchildren, Matthew, Maddison, Cassidy, Caden, Ashley, Lucas, and Linzi; and his special friends, Eric and Chris.

Lew was predeceased by his parents.
