Michael Lewis’ 19-year-old daughter dies in crash
The Lewis family suffered an unsudden tragedy when their daughter Dixie tragically died in a car crash in northern California on 25 May 2021. Dixie was a passenger in a car with her boyfriend, Ross Schultz. They were heading north on State Route 89 from Lake Tahoe toward the city of Truckee. Their car crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a southbound truck killing them both.
Lewis said in a statement,
“We loved her so much and are in a kind of pain none of us has experienced. She loved Ross, with whom she died. She loved to live and our hearts are so broken they can’t find the words to describe the feeling. Her mother, Tabitha, and I, and her brother Walker and sister Quinn are going to find ways for her memory to live in her absence.”
Her softball coach at Pomona, Joanne Ferguson said that the team was heartbroken by the news. Ferguson wrote, “As an athlete, Dixie quickly drew our attention due to her talents on the field — but once she joined our team, it was her warm spirit, positive energy and big smile that won our hearts. Dixie made a lasting positive impact on our team this year, and she will forever be part of the Sagehen softball family.”
