Council mourns passing of David Lewis

| | Comments (2) |
Like many neighboring cities, Rancho Cucamonga adjourned this week's City Council meeting in memory of David Lewis, the vice president of the Lewis Group of Companies.

Councilwoman Diane Williams said there wasn't a community event or charity that Lewis said no to.

"There's no way you can think of him without thinking of generosity," she said.

Lewis, 36, took his own life two weeks ago. He was the third generation of a politically connected family, one that left an enormous imprint in the neighborhoods of this city and region.

Councilman Sam Spagnolo called Lewis "a pillar of this community."

"David's passing is very untimely," Spagnolo said. "We'll never really know why a person would cut their life so short when they have so much to live for."

I was driving down Haven near Baseline on Friday, July 9th, and there were four RC police cruisers blocking the northbound lanes, all officers out of their vehicles pointing their shotguns at a white car with three African American men in it. What the heck was that about? I've spent two days trying to find info, and there's NOTHING. Not from Daily Bulletin, SB Sun, nothing. What the heck was happening????
