Lewis Russell Branham

Lewis Russell Branham of McDonough, passed away Thursday, October 29, 2020, at the age of 63. Mr. Branham was a dedicated employee of Coca-Cola for 35 years prior to his retirement. His family was everything to him and he relished the time he spent with them – especially the precious moments spent doting on his grandsons. In Mr. Branham’s spare time, he loved hosting his friends and family, and enjoyed being outside fishing, camping, boating, or working on his prized projects of cars and motorcycles. He had a passion for Corvettes, owning several of them, and was a member of the Southside Cruisers Corvette Club. In addition, Mr. Branham was a diehard Clemson fan and liked showing his Mastiff dogs when he had them. He will be remembered as someone who never met a stranger, was kind-hearted and would always lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
