Lewis S. Mullican, 58, died at his home in Oxford, NC on Friday night.
He is survived by his wife, friend, and partner of 32 years, Linda Mullican; her son, Joey Mills and his wife, Emily, and grandchildren, Landin and Chase; by his mother, Diane Coleman and her husband, Joe, of Hickory, NC; by his sister, Charissa Loftin, her husband, Steve, and their daughter, Jadyn, of Winston-Salem, NC; and by his particular friend, Reid Hardin, of Durham, ME, whom he considered a brother.
Lewis had many varied interests, including ice climbing, sailing, and the novels of Patrick O'Brian, but his passion was for fly fishing and he spent many meticulous hours handcrafting beautiful flies for that pursuit. He was an avid fisherman and a member of Triangle Fly Fishers. He was a funny, smart, kind, generous, loyal man with a great heart and he will be remembered and missed by all who knew him. His ashes will be scattered in the Atlantic Ocean which he loved so much.

I am very saddened to learn of Lewis' passing. I had not seen him since childhood but my mother, Janet Mullican West, and his father, Noble Mullican, Jr. we're sister and brother and adored one another. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Diana West Bentley

I have just learned of Lewis death, and am so very sorry. So young, too early. We were cousins. His dad was my uncle. I hadn't seen him since we were children, but my mother, Janet West, shared news of him sometimes. My heart goes out to and is with the family, to his mother Diane who must have been devastated. I remember him as a sweet child, and know he is now with God.
