CNN anchor and political commentator Alisyn Camerota has shared the heartbreaking news that her husband, Tim Lewis, passed away on July 27, just two months shy of their 23rd wedding anniversary. He was 58 years old.
Camerota, also 58, revealed that Lewis, the father of their three children, died “two years after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer,” she wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post on Friday, Sept. 20.
“I cannot imagine any human being facing such a devastating diagnosis with more humor, humility, and bravery than Tim,” she continued. “He was an extraordinary father, husband, friend, and role model, and those of us left behind are trying our best to follow in his footsteps.”
Camerota added that she and their children—twin daughters Ale and Cessa, and son Nate—”are still trying to find our footing. Tim gave us so much strength and stability, and we’re determined to live up to those qualities.”
She went on to describe her late husband’s commitment to helping others. “Tim dedicated much of his life to giving back to his community and making life easier for those around him,” she wrote.
In his honor, Camerota announced the creation of a fund to support families facing similar challenges.
“We’ve established a fund in his memory to help others battling cancer, and I would be deeply honored if you would consider contributing,” she said, sharing a link to the Tim Lewis Foundation to Fight Cancer, hosted through CharityVest.
Reflecting on their relationship, Camerota noted, “This month would have marked our 23rd wedding anniversary.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced such a deep, committed, and loving partnership for the time we had,” referencing their September 2001 wedding.
In closing her post, Camerota expressed her gratitude: “I plan to write more in the coming days and to return to work in the next few weeks. Thank you all for your love, letters, trays of lasagna, and the many, many acts of kindness. I am truly grateful.”
According to the Connecticut Post, Tim Lewis was born on July 17, 1966, in Kansas City, Missouri. He later attended Yale University and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.
After completing his education, Lewis built a successful career in private equity and business consulting, working at The Keystone Group, CRG Partners, and Atlantic Street Capital before spending nearly a decade as a partner at Southfield Capital.
