Lewis Jones, treasured member of the Anacortes community, passed on December 13, 2020, age 67.  His works and memory live on.  He served on the Anacortes Museum Advisory Board for nearly 30 years including as President and he was also President of the Skagit Valley Camera Club.  As a gifted professional photographer he interpreted and preserved scenes of Anacortes, Skagit Valley and beyond.  His works can be seen at the Scott Milo Gallery, Anacortes, WA.  


Lewis was a selfless supportive friend to all.  If you have pictures of Lewis or a story or two to share please send to gallery420@

Funds collected will be applied to donations in Lewis’s name to the Anacortes Museum and an Excellence in Photography Award at the Anacortes Arts Festival, also for the Celebration of Life, after Covid restrictions are lifted, and related expenses.


Kind, caring, giving, keenly intelligent
   He always greeted you with a smile
Traveler, artist, friend
   He always placed your needs ahead of his
Historian of his community
   Many have been uplifted by his works
Explorer and artistic interpreter of his beloved community
   He captured beautiful images with an unfailing eye
Every day he lived the lyrics;
   “Friends shaking hands saying how do you do,
     are really saying, I love you.”
Lewis, you are now in skies of blue and clouds of white
Thank you for the selfless companionship you gave to all
Thank you for your wonderful life.


We will remember
