Donald Raymond “Donnie” Lewison, Jr., 61, of Fort Smith, AR, passed away on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. He was born on April 13, 1964, in Fort Smith to Donald Raymond Lewison, Sr. and Jo Anne Proctor Lewison. Donnie was a salesman for Auto Accessories Plus. He was a Past President for the Jaycees and a member of Greenwood First Baptist Church.

Donnie was one of a kind. He had this incredible sense of humor that could light up a room, even in the hardest of times. He was quick with a joke, but even quicker with a smile. You could always count on him to make you laugh- sometimes when you least expected it, and sometimes when you needed it the most.

Donnie is survived by his best friend and love, Linda Selvidge of Fort Smith; three daughters, Kylie Anderson and her husband Justin, of Ft. Washington, Maryland, Meagan Lewison of Van Buren, AR and Emily Ardiana of Kansas City, MO; his father, Donald Raymond Lewison, Sr. of Fort Smith; three sisters, Jo Lynn Lamphere and her husband Thom, Helen Ann Whorton and her husband Jerry, and Liz Jumper and her husband Ken, all of Fort Smith. He is also survived by one grandchild, Sawyer Anderson and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Jo Anne Proctor Lewison.
