As a kid, and the older sibling to four more youthful kin, Lewis rapidly turned into the man of the house. He helped his sisters with their hair and ensured his more youthful sibling landed at childcare on schedule.

Sickened with his father's absence of contact, Lewis relinquished the name Ray Jenkins and took the name of her mom's beau, Ray Lewis, when he entered Kathleen High School.
