Following his father's death in October, Jerry Lee Lewis, the son of late rock 'n' roller coaster Jerry Lewis, has been barred from the musician's sprawling Mississippi mega-ranch after a judge found him unlawfully occupying the house with his two children. The decision marks the start of a long-running legal contest involving Jerry Lee Lewis III, the rock icon's youngest son, and Lewis' longtime landlord, the real owners of the estate. Lewis, 36, was served with a complaint in January requiring him and his school-aged children to leave the house after they moved last year to a more accessible home. Lewis was given a deadline of March 5 to leave the property on 1595 Malone Road in Nesbit, the northern town of Nesbit, which came shortly after the scion fell short of crowdfunding $80,000. The lawsuit, brought by the late Lewis' longtime chief and brother-in-law Cecil Harrelson's relatives, informed many that although Lewis' legendary father purchased and lived on the ranch for almost half-century, it was never legally his.

After 13 years of marriage, Williams and her second husband, Richard Williams, moved to Georgia, where they began working in real estate in Duluth.

Lewis' body was discovered at the front of the funeral home's main parlor, enclosed in a closed, red casket with a spray of red roses on top. Multiple funeral wreaths, one of which was in the shape of a musical note, dove among the walls behind and around the casket, as did photographs of the artist, one of which depicted him in a red suit hunched over and singing into a microphone.
