It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of an Isshinryu Hall of Fame inductee, a truly remarkable man, GrandMaster Tom Lewis.

A first-generation Marine Corp student of Isshinryu founder Soke Tatsuo Shimabuku, Master Lewis was a respected mentor, devoted karateka, dedicated Sensei, father, grandfather and beloved friend of many.

He passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family. True to who he was, his sense of humor remained strong until the very end.

His legacy will live on through the countless lives he impacted on and off the dojo floor. He will be deeply missed and our community mourns this loss.

Rest in peace, GrandMaster Tom Lewis. 🙌🏻
