So sad to hear of Teenage Head’s Gord Lewis passing. One of the most important – and underrated – bands this country has ever produced. A leader in punk and rock and roll from the 1970s onwards, his enthusiasm and tenacity to his craft was astonishing, and well worth remembering. pic.twitter.com/SepjicSlyn

Jonathan Lewis’s Wife And Family Details To Know
Jonathan Lewis’s personal life is not public knowledge as he prefers to keep it out of the limelight.
He is the only son of Gord Lewis, but the facts about his wife and children remain unknown. He doesn’t seem close to his father, as they have never been spotted together.
As he is facing charges of his father’s murder, the family is not available for comment. We will have to wait and see how this thing turns out. It would be a great shame if one of the greatest punk guitarists were killed by his son.
RIP. @sfhpunks did epic gigs with him and Frankie back in the day. And no one is surprised about the son, regrettably. “Teenage Head guitarist Gord Lewis found dead; Jonathan Lewis charged with second-degree murder | The Star” https://t.co/mU6JzkXHew
