With heavy hearts we are sad to announce the passing of Naquan Nahiir Lewis after his battle with cancer. Many have asked how they could contribute on behalf of NaQuan and we are eternally grateful to friends and family who want to contribute to his memory. Any contributions or donations will be managed by his immediate family.
The Story of NaQuan Nahiir Lewis
At 31 years of age, NaQuan has left an indelible mark on those that loved him, worked with him or simply came across his path. He possessed all the characteristics of a person you would want to call a friend.
NaQuan has always been his own man with the heart of a giant. He had a quiet strength and tenacity that made him a leader without having to say many words, but instead, led by action and example.
To his family, he was the son and brother who made everyday a happy one filled with laughter and smiles, and to his friends, he was their rock and anchor. A consistent voice that was unwavering in its truth and honesty. His impact on those who knew and loved him will undoubtedly have a lifelong impact.
NaQuan hails from Brooklyn NY and then moved to Queens before he went off to pursue greater opportunities in higher learning. He completed his undergraduate studies at Delaware State University where he received his BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Education and Psychology and later received his Masters of Science (M.S.) from Touro College in Elementary and Special Education.
NaQuan resided in Atlanta, Georgia where he was an Elementary School educator at Atlanta International School. Dedicated and passionate about teaching, once he started on the path of educating students, he was committed to three things:
• Maximizing individual student performance
• Inspiring students’ interest in learning and
• Instilling a sense of self-worth among all students
NaQuan took pride in nurturing and guiding his students in developing a love for learning and helping them become their best selves. We are happy for you to join us in honoring the life of NaQuan Nahiir Lewis.
