Conrad Lewis

British Private Conrad Lewis, age 22, of the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, died on February 9th, 2011, in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. 

Pte Lewis was on a foot patrol designed to reassure the local population and gather census information in a small village north of the Nahr-e Bughra Canal. The patrol came under fire and, during the ensuing firefight, Pte Lewis suffered a serious gunshot wound.

Private Conrad Lewis, from 4th Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was described by his family as someone who ''made you feel good about life. Conrad was an outstanding young man, with a character the depth of which you only truly find out in these sad circumstances. He was a warm-hearted, funny, kind, loving, handsome and clearly a brave young man.”

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Conrad Lewis is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
