"Ronald Powell Lewis (92) of Evergreen passed away February 14, 2026, following a quick decline in health. Ron was a prolific builder and a visionary developer in the Evergreen area. For the first eleven years of marriage, the family moved nine times, living in the homes as Ron finished building them before selling and moving to the next. In 1965, Ron founded Evergreen Memorial Park. Despite being called the "Town Fool" for the idea, he successfully established the cemetery on property that previously struggled to sell. He was the force behind several subdivisions, including Buffalo Park Estates, Arapahoe Park Estates, Bear Mountain Vista, Rio Grand Estates, Wilderness Ranches, The Homestead, and Cragmont Estates. In the early 2000’s Ron moved three historic barns to Evergreen Memorial Park where they were, “Barn Again,” to create The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park. Ron was a founding member of Aspen Ridge Church in 1965."
