Gregory “Greg” Cortez Lewis, a lifelong resident of Santa Rosa County and local entrepreneur, passed away on Monday, August 3, 2026, at the age of 67 following a battle with cancer.
A 1977 graduate of Pace High School, Lewis built a career rooted in the Northwest Florida community.

In 1987, he built and managed the Woodbine Country Store and Deli, serving local residents for 10 years.
